Woo Hoo! we have had many married couples swim the lake and we have had folks meet at the lake and later tie the knot, but we just had our first engagement proposal before the start of todays lake swim (Yes, there will be a badge for this). Many congrats to David Head and Kimberly Hawkins. Kim is a staple of this lake swim community and most certainly in the 1000k club (but she doesn’t count her crossings – probably because she is an artist) see photos below.

Dave does a surprise Guillotine choke hold which is also known in cage fighting circles as the “huggy kissy” move. Kim then taps out.

Factoid: the first five swimmers finishing today were not in sausage suits. (which only means they had to swim real fast to keep from freezing).
Had to coach my son’s basketball team at 9am. I can’t believe I missed this. Congrats to Kim and Dave!
Oh, Simba, it was a fantastic morning, you were missed!
