Our own LOSTie, Melanie Price, will be swimming the first ever swim from Port Dalhousie to Oakville (Coronation Park), Lake Ontario Crossing on Thursday!!!
She will be starting at midnight (weather permitting) and swimming… well, until she gets here! Very tough to put a time on it, but it could be between 14 – 18 hours.
So far the conditions look good, the lake has been unusually warm… the inspiration and positive encouragement from seeing some else complete it has to be very uplifting for Mel, as 17 year old Rebekah Boscariol just completed her swim… and Christine Arsenault is in the water right now! (see stories below).
Then we have the 4th Annual LOST Race on Saturday!!! Mel tells me that short of being in the hospital, she’ll be at the Race! (although she might be a bit too wiped out to swim the measly 3.8 km after her 42 km swim!!!).
An exceptionally exciting week in Lake Ontario swimming this week!!!
Stay tuned, I’ll let you know how Christine and Melanie do!
Cheers,
Rob
