Easter Run, 2013

… okay, technically it was Good Friday… but we’ll call it the Easter Run anyway.  Just the usual suspects out for a nice 9k run.  A good hard run… and coffee with the gang after… sometimes it’s the simple things in life.

Officer Rick and the Chicks... apparently there is something about a man uniform... how else can you explain all the women around Rick?!

Here’s to hoping we’ll have the LOST Swimming gang in this very same coffee shop warming up on a Saturday morning after a freezing cold morning dip in the Lake… in just a few weeks!

Just nice to have such a good bunch 'o friends.

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!
