Nothing other than walk for a few minutes before sitting down.

Ability to draft for any extended time. Need to work on my speed. Have notice that since the Great Chesapeake even my pool pace during workouts has slowed.

I think quite truly for the first time I 'get it'. It's not just about the fitness. It's not just about the great little endorphin rush as you hit 5, 10, 15 miles...its not just the medal at the end.

'Open Water' is this triathlete’s nightmare because I have a fear of swimming in open water. Not because I can’t swim, but mostly because I can’t see what’s swimming with me in the water.
