I just received an email from Lance Oram, the captain of my pilot boat - he says that I have satisfied all the requirements of the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation and am "ready to go." Good, because I feel ready. Just 16 days until we head off to England and 19 days until I could potentially swim. I am looking forward to it.
This past weekend I took a break from distance swimming and participated in the Maine Sport Triathlon in Camden, Maine. I did the swim portion. My team consisted of my cousin Bjorn (super fast runner) and Bill, a friend of Bjorn's (super fast biker). Our team came in first!

Who am I?
In the 135 years people have been swimming the English Channel fewer than one thousand have been successful. When I was 14 years old I decided that, one day, I would be one of the people who made the swim. Now, close to 20 years later, I am planning to attempt just that. I have secured a pilot boat through the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation,for an attempt in September 2010. I am currently looking for businesses, individuals, or organizations that would like to make contributions or provide sponsorship, either monetarily or in kind.
