Member  43  Burlington, Wi |  Subject: yoI am going on a multi-day mountain hike in October so I decided to sign up for a triathlon to force myself into shape. Now that I paid my money for the tri my obsessive personality has taken over and I’m becoming a freak about this training stuff. This could be bad. |

Member 43 Burlington, Wi | Subject: RE: yo Lake Geneva Extreme HIM. I figured that would be a good one to see if I have what it takes to do this triathlon thing! Just kidding! I signed up for the Lake Geneva Sprint Sept 12 and it is doing a fine job at making me nervous. I can easily do the bike and run if I keep a relaxed pace but am working hard at getting my swim where it needs to be. I have been swimming 3 days a week for at least a month but it seems like it keeps getting harder. I still have 5 weeks left and am demanding that I be prepared. I am swimming twice the sprint distance in the pool but take a lot of little breaks. Like tonight, I just swam 1100 yds but it took ~36 min. I have not tried strokes other than freestyle. This week I am going to be doing 2 OWS (with a boat beside me) and then I will throw in a breaststroke, backstroke, doggie-paddle (LOL) and whatever else it takes for me to catch my breath as I swim. I am also a decent floater so I can throw that in as well. |
