Sink or Swim?

Chatted with Suzanne today about my upcoming adventure. I am trying not to let myself start panicing about swimming in open water. We were laughing about everything that could possibly go wrong. Getting hit by another swimmer, getting pushed down by another swimmer, drowning, getting nibbled on by a fish (there aren't any people-eating fresh-water sharks, are there?)...it's all funny until I actually have to jump in the water. I am sure I will be fine. It's just hard to not wonder about all those what ifs? as you try something new. Anyway...think of me Saturday morning...I will be jumping in the water around 7:15AM our time.
