Jeff Mallett and his comic strip alter ego Frazz are triathletes.

Jef may be a bit less accomplished, but is no less dedicated than Frazz.

Jef is interviewed about his upcoming 4.2-mile swim on Labor Day across the Straits of the Mackinac between Michigan’s peninsulas that runs along the Mackinac Bridge.

Of the triathlon activities, swimming is not his favorite.

I waited until I was out of high school, decided to try this new triathlon sport and realized I was going to have to learn how to swim. I wasn’t good at it and didn’t especially like it, but that was how you got to the rest of the triathlon.
