Went for my first swim today…wow did I find it hard. At first I went way too fast and was out of breath almost immediately. I am not a very good swimmer and one or two lessons will help a lot. I had trouble finishing the first 25m! Then I calmed down, took it easy and it went way better. Still, I have no idea how I will be able to swim for 30, 45, 60 minutes and over. Practice I guess! Next thursday! Ah…perseverance will do it!
To be honest, I find it hard…I can bike but not that fast, I can run ok and have run 10k, half marathons and a marathon. In my group age (40-44) I am quite good…but triathlon seems to be a completely different ball game and it is testing my patience!
