\"\"<\/a>Yaaaaa!
\nThe last few yards of Red Cross 15 mile June challenge<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The bulk 2,200 yd<\/a> is done in 51 minutes (total 2,620<\/a> in an hour). The water temp is 82\u00b0 (better than 85 or 86 … lol).<\/p>\n

I swam daily since June 1, (except 6.16) 27,020 yards \/ 15.35 miles \/ 24,707 meters.<\/p>\n

Music is Hilary Hahn<\/a>‘s Tschaikowsky violin concerto.<\/p>\n

… so the Paris Olympic (Fri, Jul 26 to Sun, Aug 11, 2024) is upon us. One sweet story: Erin Gemmell (2004<\/a>-), the 19 years old just made the 200m free<\/a> at the US swimming trail:<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 200m Freestyle<\/a> \u2013 FINAL 1 \u2013<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Katie Ledecky (Bethesda, Md.\/Gator Swim Club), 1:55.22 2<\/li>\n
  2. Claire Weinstein (Las Vegas, Nev.\/Sandpipers of Nevada), 1:56.18<\/li>\n
  3. Paige Madden (Mobile, Ala.\/New York Athletic Club) 1:56.35<\/li>\n
  4. Erin Gemmell (Potomac, Md.\/NCAP), 1:56.75<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Her dad Bruce Gemmell was once, a coach of Katie Ledecky (1997<\/a>-) and young Erin had been inspired by Ledecky so much, she turned out to be an Olympian herself. With Phoebe Bacon (2002<\/a>-), the three are all from the same Stone Ridge school<\/a>.<\/p>\n
