We have burned our bras...fought for EQUAL rights...and NOW we are swimming across channels in a Sportkini!!Lynn has accomplished a feat that I couldn't imagine doing myself.
She S W A M across the Catalina Channel! (I have paddled in an outrigger canoe many o' time and shared the experience with the other women on my crew...it was not done solo)
Lynn swam it solo! I just find that amazing! I couldn't imagine swimming (and I LOVE swimming) and starting over on Catalina Island, in the middle of the night...SCARY! and then proceeding until land was hit on the California side...it is hard enough to RUN a marathon, or even to paddle this channel...but to SWIM it? WOW!
I believe it takes quite an individual to accomplish this, and I do know her support team played a vital role in keeping her fed, on track, and motivated to finish no matter the muriad of challenges along the way in both training and the day of the crossing.
My salute to Lynn, and for also being the FIRST female ever to complete the swim in a two piece swimsuit, and we at Zsuzsi are honored to know and have you as one of athletes that we support and LOVE!
congrats Lynn!
And look out....more sportkini news on the horizon!
