Colleen just emailed me that Christine made it!!!

Still a bit sketchy on details, but by my very unofficial time she was something around the 22 1/2 hour mark!  I was just talking with Joanne too, and she was running down by the lake and said it was “really, really rough!”

I just got another email, from Marilyn, Christine finished at about 10:30 or about 22 hours and 20 mins!!!

Damn tough girl.  Way to go Christine!!!

Rebekah, check… Christine, check… and Melanie’s next, on Thursday at midnight… GO MELANIE GO!!!

Cheers,

Rob

I founded LOST Swimming because I like open water swimming and would like to see it grow and thrive in Lake Ontario. I started as a competitive swimmer as a kid and ended up getting as far as a silver medal at Nationals and going to the Olympic Trials in 1988. But I retired after that, I was sick of swimming. So I got into running marathons and have run over 35 to date, as well as a few ultra marathons, including the Marathon des Sables (7 day, ultra across the Sahara Desert). I also kind of fell into triathlons and have done a handful of Ironman tri's too. This gradually got me back in the water and in 2006 I took the plunge and attempted swimming the English Channel. I didn't quite make it across, but the circle was now complete and after 17 years I was a swimmer again! Although I still do plenty of pool swimming, I now much prefer open water swimming and like to say that open water swimming is to pool swimming, what trail running is to treadmill running! As a result I hope to encourage more people to join me for a dip in Lake Ontario as often as we can!
