otter_sh - 2009-08-15 2:42 PM Now the question for the group... Where should I have just stopped and took a break to catch my breath and get everything back in sequence so I could have finished and not DNF..... Thoughts.....

Great story. Sorry to laugh at your struggles but it sounded like you had everything go wrong except for getting hit by a car. When things get that bad the only thing to do is laugh, drink a shot, and start again.

It sounded as if your swim got you off your mental game. It allowed the frustation to kick in. My soultion it to go to the local pool and invite the local kids to harrass you during the swim. Have them grab you leg, dunk your head, and any other abuse they can think of.

If anything can, that should prepare you for your next swim.

Get some rest and have a good day.

Sad part is having been through life guard training multiple times, I have had that happen, but it was always in a controlled manner and not just random....

Afternoon team!

Capped off the week with a long bike and short brick run. Great week of training; managed to get all the scheduled workouts completed.

Did a short bike ride today... New bike felt good, but I need learn to use gears on a bike... Should have learned that when I was young....
