Fridays at the Library
In Dover Until It Was Over: Swimming the English Channel (twice) 
Friday, September 28
7:00 p.m. inside the Sausalito Library

Sausalito resident and marathon swimmer Melissa Blaustein will tell her story of disappointment and perseverance in her quest to complete one of the world's most difficult endurance challenges. Melissa will share her personal experience of going from a novice swimmer less than three years ago to becoming a world-record holder in marathon swimming. Hear how she trained for the 21 mile, 15 hour and 51 minute swim, the bizarre carbohydrates and hot chocolates she consumed on the journey, and the failure of her first attempt followed by the harrowing events of her success just two weeks later, which has led her to believe that anything is possible if you believe in your own ability to achieve it. Melissa translates her love for the ocean into her role as a sustainability commissioner for the City of Sausalito.
