It's may already. Has anyone gone yet or will I once again be the first as the true Viking that I yam?
Please report the lake temperature. Brrr, double brrr, or not too bad?
Lake is Awesome. Temperature is warmer than I expected. Still takes your breath away initially, but felt really nice once I was warmed up. The weekend swims there have begun!
Yep a wetsuit. Don't need booties or anything though. It was really nice once I got used to it. Have a nice swim! Plan to head back again next weekend. There were already two other guys there when I arrived...I think they were actually swimming without their wetsuits on. But, I'm not that tough. haha.
It's time to improve upon your weakness in the water and start swimming faster. Instead of ignoring your swim skills (or lack thereof), it’s time to face them head-on.
Triathlon swim training discussions on the pull, open water swimming all year, winter swim focus, bilateral breathing during a race and Ironman swim training in 6 weeks.
I first decided I was going to "do" a triathlon in 1994. It wasn't until 13 years later, in 2007 that I actually did. Why did it take me 13 years to get to the starting line? The swim!
Many people in the triathlon world think they need to just emulate Ian Thorpe to have a faster time, or have a similar stroke to Michael Phelps to cruise through the swim. Unfortunately...
