We were so fortunate to meet with the "Mile High Chunnel Toppers" for dinner on Monday night. Their team, top picture, from left: Jennifer Rocke, Holden Bank, Stacey Tobey, Carolyn Roche, Wendy Bank, John Polansky (not pictured). and the support person in the front, Wendy and Holden's daughter Karolina. They successfully swam the English Channel on June 25th with an incredibly fast time of 10 hours and 48 minutes (the fastest relay time this year)! They battled very cold water temps. of 50.2 degrees. BRRRR. jellyfish, strong tides, and swam thru some actual trash, including a laundry basket, etc.:) They gave us some great tips and it was very inspiring to hear about their swim. The adrenaline is pumping now. We are leaving in a couple days.
