The Maui Channel Swim went pretty well. The near 10 mile race from Lanai to Maui proved to be a challenge though. Our team finished second, just a few minutes behind the Aussie team. We battled lots of choppy water and swells for most of the race. My leg seemed extra choppy, which didn’t bode well for me since my stroke tempo is so low. I was getting knocked around like crazy! At least I wasn’t the person who spotted the 12-15 foot tiger shark that was trolling beneath the pack in the clear, blue water. Maui is a beautiful island though, and I highly recommend spending a week there because 3 days is way too short. Here are a few pics:

This past weekend I went back to Ann Arbor for the first Michigan football night game. The experience was unforgettable, as Michigan eeked out a close win over Notre Dame in the final seconds. The atmosphere was more wild than any game I’ve ever attended. The Desmond Howard legend ceremony gave me goosebumps before the game even started. I had a great time seeing friends and family too. After the game I ended up coming down with some sort of stomach virus, which ruined my Saturday night. The flight home Sunday was not my favorite travel experience! To anyone I didn’t get to say goodbye to, sorry!
