Countdown to 5 mile swim: Any last-minute words of wisdom?

Hey all, Getting butterflies... My Great South Bay swim is this Friday morning at 8:30. Please think of me while you're having your :coffee: ... or swimming your 5000 yard workout... or whatever. Also, any last-minute words of advice? 5.25 miles, and I'm programming my music listening (including the Rocky theme, hey I'm a Philly girl)... in a device that needs no batteries... my mind. Also programming same device with some positive thoughts and, most of all, prayer. "Gonna fly, fly, fly!"* * p.s., This refers to a state of mind, not the famed butterfly stroke, which I can maintain for maybe 25 yards... Doing this swim butterfly is for another year... and/or another person. ;) Hah, although I just noticed the phrase "getting butterflies"... don't tell me my mind is plotting more mischief for future open water swims!

    Hey, Diane, I have decided to swim with you. Because I am in Honduras, I think there is one hour difference in our time zones this time of year. So, on Friday morning, at 7:30 AM, I will enter the water and I will swim exactly a 5.25 mile. Just know that your friend is swimming the same miles you are at the same time!! Vibes between athletic friends!! donna
