I'm new to the sport but what got me was how fast the professional swam. I mean this was a 1500 meter open water swim but the fastest time was 12:02 for a 1500 meter !!

I looked up the world record for the 1500 meter pool long course and it's somewhere around 14:31 by Sun Yang.

Again I'm new to the sport but was surprise how fast some people can swim. Why not try out for 1500 meter Olympic swimming if they can do 12 minutes in open water.

I know that wearing wet suit can give you better buoyancy but there is the issues of sighting and maybe even waves that can make it harder to swim in open water unless I missing something. I'm much faster in the pool than in the open water only because of sighting and sometimes the waves that slows me down.

I just finished the NYC marathon on Sunday and I think I'm going to venture into triathlons. I am doing an Olympic distance and I want to do a 70.3 next year too. Any advice?

The ONLY way to compete in my first triathlon was to do it on my BMX. I’m no professional—nor do I aspire to be one, I just want to be fit and healthy.

One of my fears, besides the radioactive material content of the Hudson River, was the water temperature. I found the water was much warmer as I inched closer to the holding dock.
