Newbie here!  I just discovered the 5 mile swim across Lake Minnetonka and am really pumped to swim this event.  However, as a lone swimmer, I don&amp;#39;t even know anyone who kayaks or canoes - my family got rid of our canoe years ago, and, well, I need help.  

If anyone lives in the Minneapolis area and can help me out - I&amp;#39;d be eternally grateful!  I don&amp;#39;t have much money right now, so this person would simply have to love canoeing or kayaking and just be interested in getting in some training while I swim across the lake (I&amp;#39;ve done long distance before).  I live 160 miles from the event, so I need to get moving on this fast; again, if you know of anyone who could be of assistance, please get in touch!

Thanks!!

He coaches a bunch of tri athletes in Minneapolis and swims at that lake on a regular basis. He can probably put you in touch with some good ones in the area.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
