I live in between the QC, Muscatine, Iowa City, and Cedar Rapids. My first tri is coming up in June so I need to get some time in the water. West Lake seem to be the best option, I'm sure there are others.
Thanks
MAPS is Meditation, Acclimatization, Practice, and Strategy, which are key for giving you the confidence and skills to execute the open-water swim in a triathlon well.
Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.
