angledgeAfter a couple of weeks of hounding my family, friends, & co-workers for donations for my swim team's fundraiser, Saturday it was time to actually do the swim. 1 1/2 hours, as many lengths as you can swim. I got my dear cousin matt_ledgerwood to count lengths for me. He's a former PriceWaterhouseCooper auditor, which means I can state my totals with the complete confidence that only a Big Six accountancy firm can give you. Or something like that. Maybe it will all end in scandal. Mmm, Swimron.
But all in seriousness, I am pleased to tell you that I completed 252 lengths, for a total of 6,300 yards, or just over 3.5 miles. I had the second-highest total on my team. But even more importantly, I have raised nearly $1,000 for the Red Cross. We're still totalling it up, but we think that our team as a whole raised over $20,000.
There were a lot of people running around with cameras; if I can scrounge any photos, I'll post them.
