No Wetsuits allowed!
I'd like to welcome you to my training blog site. For some time now I have been saving my thoughts of what I wanted to say on here until the time was right.... and now the time has come.... to spill the beans!
Well it's been a long time coming, but spring has finally shown it's face and god willing..the nice weather is coming. And what does nice weather mean to 5 ladies this coming summer? Cold water training! Think of your coldest shower you have ever taken and double that coldness..and there you have it..our first training dip in Lake Ontario..... :-) You know that Brain Freeze feeling? Yup..thats' it..that feeling! LOL
My name is Nicole Mallette and I am one of the 5 ladies that will be setting a record this summer for the longest open water relay swim...Kingston to Burlington (305.2 km)... Crazy? You got it! Crazy for what we love to do and crazy in passion for the charity we are supporting!
Plan International's "Because I am a Girl" iniative is an amazing organization that is helping girls in our community, our cities, our province, our country and our World! Don't we all deserve to be given the chance to succeed? We think so and so here we are challenging our own passions and goals and sharing in the fundraising activities for a great cause!
In the coming months, you will have the opportunity to join us in our excitment as the date comes closer, the excitment builds and our team builds it's strength and passion for the challenge that lies ahead for us.
I will do my best to keep you updated with my training blog, my thoughts and "yes"...my fears. As will all of the other ladies, they will keep you posted on their progress of training, events being held in their area for fundraising and their excitment.
Until then, keep watching us... keep cheering us on and we hope to see you at the end of our successful Lake Ontario Crossing.... a summer to remember!
Nicole
