Lane 1 - The Today Show (video) looks at strong women in running and swimming in "How Strong Women Make Happy Lives" with author of the book Run Like A Girl.
Lane 2 - Luckys Lake Swim Blog announces "Digger the dog makes the 100K club!! One hundred and seventy swimmers showed up today to join Digger the dog in his 100th crossing of lake cane. Digger got all the cool stuff too. The cap, the write up on the web (his bio here), and his paw print highlighted in yellow. Ron Davis (Digger’s human) completed his 200th crossing for the third time (inside joke, we have your T-shirt ready)." I've still yet to swim Luckys Lake Swim. I think this sign explains why.
Lane 3 - Wired Digital Lab looks at "Underwater Camera Is Cheap Enough to Drown. Photojojo has a new waterproof camera and it costs just $35. The quality is as low as you’d expect: 1.3 megapixels, a dinky little 1.4-inch LCD, a fixed ƒ3.1 lens, a 4X digital zoom, an 30fps video of an unspecified size. On the other hand, it has a 10-second self timer, shoots as close as two feet and runs on a pair of AAAs." Hmm…might be the cheap enough for me to buy so I can be like RobAquatics and his incredible swimming photos.
