"Swimming in San Fran with Madhu and Pedro. Madhu is swimming the Channel the same time I am. Pedro is a legend in cold water ocean swimming, having crossed some of the coldest and most treacherous bodies of water in the world. They are both great guys!" |

"This is where I did some cold water training in San Fran. Don't let the placid water fool you - it was very cold there, but great training for what I can expect in the Channel." |
2003 Coronado Rough Water Swim |
"Which way is the course?" |
"I think the guy on the far right beat me!" |
"Damn, that water is cold!" |
With Carlie before the race |
"29:57 - I swear it was longer than a mile!" |
At La Jolla High School - My training pool |
“Dan Peck, Founder of Swim Smarter, has been very helpful in improving my stroke which is essential given how far I will be swimming. As he said, If I can reduce my stroke count by 4 strokes over 50 yards, imagine how many fewer strokes I will have to take over the course of 25 miles!” |
