“Ken’s Tahoe Crossing” is slated for Monday August 22 and will begin around 6:00 a.m. with a starting point at Camp Richardson (South Tahoe) and finishing up at the Hyatt Hotel beach in Incline Village, Nev. between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.Harmon said he is closing about $2.5 million a month at Alamo, Calif.-based Residential Pacific Mortgage, where he has worked as a licensed broker for the past 10 years. He explained he has broken the swim up into 20 half hour increments in which he will take nutrition breaks. Unable to touch the chase boats, ropes, or any other apparatus, Harmon said, his wife, while kayaking next to him will hand over his Gatorade and Gu (concentrated glucose supplement), which will keep him energized throughout the swim. “But one thing is loud and clear,” he added. “No one has done it in under 12 hours — and I’ll probably be the oldest.”Harmon, who had received a scholarship to play water polo for the University of Pacific in Stockton said he now swims about 200 laps or an hour and a half, five to six days a week. He said he is thankful for his job in the mortgage industry, which gives him the flexibility to prepare for and execute this charity swim. “The mortgage industry has created the ability for me to do this,” he said. “It would be hard for me to do it if I weren’t self employed — that’s the beauty of the business — you pretty much get to work what you need to work.” Which is a good thing because recovery from the swim could take up to a week, Harmon said. |
