Subject: random swimming thought back from a swimming workout and realized that although many of us come from a swimming background, i now really understand how imperative it is to be well-conditioned in the pool. As they say, "you can't win the race in the water, but you can certainly lose it."
my first triathlon last september, i made a rookie mistake. i took the swim out very hard, and had no gas right from the beginning in the bike. obviously this was due to bad strategy, however i wasn't in good conditioning whatsoever since i had only begun training a few weeks prior. i'm looking forward to racing hard this April 18th, my first triathlon of the season, and i know my swimming has to be on top of the game to be competitive. |
