I can barely go 3 strokes without feeling like I'm going to drown *seriously* so I must give my deepest respect to George for his determination, resiliency, and will. This is beautiful, and I wish him the best of luck!!!

Tell him, being an accomplished athlete in one area will take him much further than he thinks, ESPECIALLY being a cyclist! I am still jealous of all the fast riders.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004930640458109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085602780668439250.post-74887213157414393792011-06-23T19:34:59.975-07:002011-06-23T19:34:59.975-07:00Kacie, that's totally great!

I just know that it's the hardest to learn and feel comfortable with and if he just sticks with it, he'll be as amazing a swimmer as he is a runner and cyclist!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085602780668439250.post-50667946516531459402011-06-23T17:51:16.097-07:002011-06-23T17:51:16.097-07:00Woot! 1200 yards is no small feat!!

I am sloooow, and after all my injuries/illnesses this year, I can't swim more than 1500m without being exhausted. I am working on getting there but it is going to take some serious time. So I can relate!Kierstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988018798603672048noreply@blogger.com
