Many of you know Madhu as the ankle-wading, coffee-drinking member of LOST Swimming… but don’t be fooled… not only has he swum the English Channel and run the Marathon des Sables, but he was also one of the key people to help me get this club started.
He used to live and swim in the open water swimming mecca, San Francisco, where they have 2 great ows clubs, the South End Rowing Club and the Dolphins. Both clubs are over 100 years old and very much the model that I based LOST on. Despite his achievements, he is a very humble and helpful guy (a great resource if you want some tips on ows… or swimming the Channel!)… even if he needs a push off the couch every once in the while! 😉
