I have set a goal of swimming the English Channel in 2013. I believe I have given myself plenty of time to train and prepare...(I hope). I am currently heavily involved in longer distance triathlons (70.3 and Ironman distance). My "final" long triathlon will occur on November 21, 2010, at Ironman Arizona. After that, I will take some down time (30 days or so) and then begin my training for my Channel attempt. I am comfortable in the open water. My max distance is 2.4 miles at this point.
Alright, let's hear it. Advice?? Questions?? Comments?? Let me know what you are thinking!!

Thanks to all for the well wishes. I read Dover Solo in about 3 days...excellent resource! I'm in the process of reserving my Channel Pilot for the swim (yes, they are taking reservations 3 years out). I have selected the 1st neap tide in August 2013 as my time to swim the Channel. If you would care to follow my progress, I have created a simple blog to chronicle my exploits: channelswim2013.wordpress.com/
