Etymology & Historical Origin - Ishmael. Ishmael comes from the Hebrew name Yishma'el meaning âGod will hearâ. In the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, Ishmael was the son of Abraham and half-brother to Isaac. His story is told in Genesis chapter 16. Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai) cannot conceive a child, so Sarah gives her Egyptian handmaiden, Hagar, to Abraham.
Boating, swimming and fishing are popular on 63-acre Trillium Lake. A small boat ramp is available within the campground and a larger ramp is available in the nearby day-use area. An accessible fishing pier is also available. Anglers cast for a variety of trout.
I was convinced to do a sprint triathlon (0.5 miles swim, 3 mile run, 10 mile bike) about 3 months before the event. I was not exercising or eating healthy at the time and I had a daughter about a year and a half old. Also, I didn't know how to swim other than the doggy paddle. I don't know how I let myself be swayed to do it.
