Swim Support - another story of the St. George Ironman from Michelle's point of view...

(edited for more detail to clear up a few inconsistencies 3 days after originally posted) It looked like it was going to be a perfect Ironman race day. Bill and I woke up at 3:30am to load up and head out to Sand Hollow Reservoir with our Kayaks and Paddleboards. Had our regular meetings and split up into group. There were roughly 60 kayakers/Paddleboarders. Swim Support has several layers of help on the water 1 -Kayakers and SUP paddlers in the thick of the swimmers that usually act as floating bouys to get swimmers to help. Geared with Whistles and PFD's - This was my job. 2 - Lifeguards amonsts the swimmers and paddlers on paddleboards to get in fast and quick to a swimmer in serious danger. 3 - Jet skis with sleds to haul swimmers quickly to a boat. They cannot hang out among the swimmers due to the danger of the fumes and machinery. 4 - there were a couple dozen large rescue boats around the perimeter geared with divers, lifeguards and EMT's as needed.

Have you taken a bit of something that nourished you all the way to your toenails? There are MANY times I have made me something to satisfy my hunger that was nutritious and after I took my first bite I could feel it tingle in my fingertips. It was as if my body was saying "THANK YOU!!!" I remember one time listening to an educator on emotional eating as he was teaching us how to enjoy our food more fully without guilt. We each took one raisin and put it in our mouths and had to just keep chewing it and feel all the textures and enjoy it on every part of our tongue. After... like FOREVER.... He finally allowed us to swallow the raisin. It was weird - yes, true. But weird is sometimes really great. You do not have to feel guilty about food. BUT... Learn
