I read your book "Other Shores" about 40 yrs ago. I learned that distance swimming was as much about occupying the mind as it was pushing the body (which I've since used effectively). I'm 6 yrs younger, but I still swim and feel as good as ever. I appreciate that in a sport where women dominate (basically you), you choose to be systematic, matter of fact, and insightful rather than boastful. You are a great source for all athletes (and people), and pretty much a bad ass! Thanks!
