tennis, life and a few things in between

Yaaaaa!
The last few yards of Red Cross 15 mile June challenge!

The bulk 2,200 yd is done in 51 minutes (total 2,620 in an hour). The water temp is 82° (better than 85 or 86 … lol).

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

Music is Hilary Hahn‘s Tschaikowsky violin concerto.

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

Women’s 200m Freestyle – FINAL 1 –

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

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