Catherine Breed was already back to work the very next day after swimming over 60 miles around Lake Tahoe in just over five days.
“I think I’ll crash tonight, but I actually feel fine right now,” she said the day after she completed the swim.
She navigated the lake via The Lake Tahoe Water Trail, a 72-mile water route along the shoreline. A part of her goal with this swim was to draw attention and awareness to the trail, which offers day and overnight routes with wayfinding markers, campgrounds, as well as launch and landing sites posted along the entire route.
