Subject: RE: Anyone else claustrophobic?yeah- I'm totally terrified of this part too. I won't ever snorkle or scuba dive (even though you can see forever ). My origional plan was to wait until the race and make myself do it- I figured I'd just have more incentive to go fast to get out of the water. The other colorado people have been great and have convinced me that I really shouldn't do that, that I should try it out first. So, I'll go with them as a group one time if they do that before my race, otherwise I'll just have to go myself.
I also heard that you can get tri- goggles which cover more of your face so you don't have to lift your whole head out of the water to see, you can just lift to your eyes and spot. apparently these help with dealing with the waves, and splahing from other people too.
Good luck in your tri! is it your first? |
