Welcome to my training blog! On August 31, 2011, I intend to become the first person to swim the 55-mile length of Lake Chelan in Washington State. This swim is a fundraiser for little Katelyn (KK) Roker who is battling Stage 4, high risk Neuroblastoma.

Update from the overnight shift
Paul here. Great news from the pontoon boat night crew!! Emily's doing fantastic!! She's about 18-20 miles out and still swimming strong, keeping a good, steady pace (even through some apparently rather choppy water during a windy overnight), and her spirits are still high! I was told she's been cracking jokes, so it's great to hear that she's still in a good mental state. Physically, she's been keeping to her "feeding" schedule, and perhaps most importantly, her "shoulders feel good" which if you know Emily is nothing but great news!
The boat crew has a bunch of great pictures and video, so once they've had a chance to get some rest we'll get some of those posted.
GO EMILY!!!
Paul B
