Way to go Heddi! That was a terrific story - Congratulations on such an awesome feat!

!!
Amazing! St. Croix is on my list to dive some day but swimming 2 miles? What a most excellent accomplishment! This is certainly a story I'll repeat to my friends. Congrats

great job Heddi!!!!
you are awesome and should be so proud of yourself. and the hurricane too! sure didn't try to make it easy for you, huh? funny you mentioned that you could feel the pain from the barometric pressure changing. that's something i have been noticing. maybe weshould all get jobs as weathermen!

anyway, keep up the good work.

look forward to hearing about your next acomplishment!!!
cheers,
Robin

Hi Heddi,

Congrats on the 2 miles. You are a super person.

What are you going to do next?

Hugs, Karen

A friend suggested I hire myself out to predict hurricanes. They could fly me out to tropical places, and I'd let them know if it was getting closer or going away

I want to do an Olympic or Half Ironman distance triathlon next year, but need to work on my swim form, so I'm not so tired when I get out of the water.

Does anyone know of any that have challenged divisions, besides the ones on the Challenged Athlete Foundation site?

hi heddi,
im learning a bit about the PC athlete for triathlon. there dont seem to be a lot that advertise for PC's. however, when you sign up, there is a place to indicate PC. That's what i did when i signed up for IM Lake Placid. although IM has mass starts so it doesnt really matter. getting in the water with 2000 people all swimming with 2 arms is going to be tough! I did NYC and Westchester this year, both olympic distance and both had designated PC divisions. The NYC was nautica NYC triathlon and they have a series and i believe all have a dedicated PC division. go online and look for nautica triathlons and it should get you there. NYC is the PC championships. basically i would suggest you sign up for the races that interest you and then contact the race director. New York is a hike, but it is a big PC race.

good luck!
Robin

Congratulations,Heddi!
YOU GO, GIRL!!!
