Brett and ultra swimmer Jamie Patrick are going long...very long this weekend. Together they will swim a 22-mile open-water one-way crossing of the Lake beginning at approximately 3am Pacific Time! Lake Tahoe is 22 miles across and at an altitude of 6,300 ft.

Join in as I try to swim thirty miles in three days as training for the Lake Tahoe swim crossing with Jamie Patrick! I hit that goal and more when I total forty-two miles of swimming in just one week.
Also, check out the audio from TeamFeat UK as they finish second place in RAAM.

As we ramp up to my swim across Lake Tahoe with Jamie Patrick, we interview one of the great adventure swimmers, Michelle Macy. Michelle has swum the English Channel twice, crossed the Cook Strait in New Zealand, and just swam the Strait of Gibralter.
You can view a list of her amazing swims here.
Michelle talks in detail about how to swim open water and what these amazing athletes know that most of us don't. For example; if you see a fin moving up and down, that belongs to a mammal. If it's moving side to side, it's a shark!

This episode of the ZenTri Podcast covers overtraining - how to identify it and get started fixing it.
