Yes, Mission Complete and feeling great!
Even after celebrating a small birthday party...with ahemmm...Ms. Collins...and Nancy Blair, the swim was very doable and know I have the endurance to master this challenge. I feel, without a doubt, I could have put myself back into the water 4-5 hours later...even tho I was on a plane heading up to Anchorage, AK...and I feel I could have given it 100% again..no problem. I believe it is 90% mental preparation and determination that will see me thru this swim...my body is along for the ride :)
Over the next 2 weeks I plan to focus on my swimming techniques, swimming smarter, not harder...longer strokes, being more streamlined in the water and and being able to plan my strategy with my time in the water to be the most efficient I can be.I am really looking forward to finalizing the plans to get to Dover....preparing my kit of "survival" items needed to make the swim more enjoyable and continuing to mentally and physically prepare for the challenge. Without a doubt...Bring it on!Once I have confirmed my travel arrangement, I will post them so all will know. Also, if some of the items Debbi mentioned on her list can be used by all, let us know so all of us can share in the expense of making this swim not only successful, which it WILL be, but enjoyed by all.Thank-you Peggy for the wonderful swim and I look forward to a little Seattle training when I return...Off to Hong Kong in the morning...Ciao, Vicki
