Subject: RE: Jack's Generic Triathloncourtney_leone - 2005-09-06 3:26 PM I feel like a fish out of water when I'm IN the water. And I love swimming....just not in OW with a big group of people. I come out of the water so pissed off at my performance, and it clouds the rest of my race. First of all, great job! As someone said, you did just complete a triathlon, nothing to be disappointed about there. I'm not sure if you are looking for advice, and I'm not sure if it would even help, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. My open water swims were disastrous at first, and then I started swimming near the back on the inside. This way, I can sight off the rest of the wave, and also let all of the traffic get out of the way. It really made a difference, along with starting out slow, and mentally telling myself that there isn't a wall 25 yards ahead that I can grab on to. Maybe thats worth something, but if not, just keep gettin' wet. You'll get there. |
