Surprise when I came out the water from my training swim today: we are going tonight at 8 p.m. Dover time.
My the Channel Gods be with us!
About
- Vasanti
- Since my university years I have been based in Heidelberg, one of the most beautiful places in the world, travelling the world in between and working for 15 years with Swiss soy pioneer Soyana. At present I am working freelance as a translator and webdesigner in marketing and communication. As a student in the late 70ies, my dream was to go to a Zen monastary in Japan for a few years to experience Satori, but then I started meditation in Heidelberg and found my teacher in New York. Soon I became fascinated with the combination of ultrasports and meditation and the concept of self-transcendence. In 1985 I swam the English Channel for the first time after only 5 months of serious training. Many lesser endurance events followed. Now, after my 50th birthday, I feel ready for a a new, bigger challenge. The "Channel Triathlon"* is inspired by Sri Chinmoy and I am dedicating it to his memory, his legacy and his vision of a Oneness-World-Family. It may be interesting to note that I have been a happy vegetarian and non-smoker since 1981. (*Distance: Swim Dover-Calais: 33-50 km, Bike Calais-Bingen: 560 km, Run Bingen-Heidelberg: ca. 80 km) more on: www.channel-triathlon.com

Thanks so much! Sometimes also so-called failures can be a step forward - but I'll be back! (Should have used the advice I gave you for myself, Christian!)
All the best on your attempt, Enda! Cold will be no problem for you, and the training you should have. Just take enough sealeggs!
