I
mean, I can go out and run 10miles cold after a two
month layoff, but in the pool, I can swim a
staggering 25m of front crawl before falling over
knackered. I now feel comfortable with the concept,
but I can’t breath and I have no swimming stamina
at all, absolutely zero. This is going to take
years.
I’m on holiday in Switzerland right now, with access to an outdoor 25m pool. Let’s see if I can’t crack this…..
I’m also thinking timetable. I want to be able to do this race justice, not just scrape in at 17 hours, although that would still be success. Given I have no swim, no race bike and no triathlon experience, this may take me 3 years until I’m ready?
I'm swimming nearly every day in the outdoor pool, but I'm still only really good for 2 lengths. Frustrating and pathetic!
