Subject: RE: Going from 1.2 to 2.4I'm not a great swimmer but for me it wasn't too hard to make the jump physically. Mentally it was hard. I would get bored, lose focus, and my stroke would start to suffer because I wanted to hurry up and get done (i.e. I would rush my stroke ).
With cycling and running there are things to look at to take your mind off what you're doing. With swimming, even in the open water, you don't have much to look at and it's not like you can really chat with people around you. |
