This morning was the most fun I have ever had celebrating Canada's birthday! Sure it required exercise and it was early, however it was tons of fun swimming 2kms around Sasamat Lake, in Port Moody, doing the Canada Day Challenge. The race was intended to be 2kms however I still have not mastered the ability to swim straight in a lake. I might have swam an extra two or three hundred metres however my skills are coming together. This might not be your idea of fun however it wasn't mine either until last fall when I started swimming a few times per week. It doesn't matter how fast you go, just have a good time...and finish. Sure some twelve year old girl might practically drown you as she powers past you in a Speedo Fastskin kick your butt, but who cares? So if you are interested in doing the Canada Day Challenge next year here is how you should train for the race. HARD, and with a buddy.
