Elaine Howley's Marathon Swim Story
Description
In this episode of Marathon Swim Stories, we chat with marathon, ice swimmer, journalist, writer, and editor, Elaine Howley! We talk about swimming for your life, peer pressure, trusting your training, and so much more!
In her own words: Elaine K. Howley is a life-long swimmer who began marathon swimming in 2006 with the 8-mile Boston Light Swim. She has since completed the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming and the Triple Crown of Monster Swims. In 2014, she became the first person to complete a 32.3-mile solo crossing of Lake Pend Oreille in Northern Idaho. She was also the first woman to complete the 24-mile 3X Boston Light Swim. When she's not swimming, Elaine is a freelance journalist, writer, and editor.
