Channel Conquered

 

On June 1st, I began the challenge.  Swim the length of the English Channel.  21 miles.  680 laps.  On August 5th, I swam the last lap on got my tshirt.

It's a little too big, but I'll wear it anyway.  I'm proud of myself for finishing this.

Honestly, even just standing outside for 5 minutes in this heavy cotton tshirt to take these photos had me sweating and cussing at the heat.  It has reached 89.5 degrees at my desk now.  I saw the weather forecast shows that we might get out of the 90s this weekend and I'm so ready.
