Just wondering if we have any swimmers among us as we seem to have a lot of cyclists among us?

Yep! In the pool a lot recently trying to recover from injuries.

It's also my favorite way to zone out and not think about anything

I don't call it swimming but I did manage to make it to shore after a 1.2 mile "swim".

jonner

Yeah find that a good way to do that myself.

jonner

Should i ask how you were that far off shore?

Half-ironman triathlon. One and done. It took me around 52 mins to complete the swim. To put into perspective, my wife did it in 42 mins and the armature pro times were around 25 mins. That's why I don't call it swimming. Mind you, I did not rest at all. Very sad. Lol

Not at all. Fair play for doing it. Would love to be able to try one...

Try it before you can't.

The good news?...
I swim a mile 4x a week....and do a few 25meter sprints!

The bad news?....
I swim with my head -up...I know..it's not the most efficient
and it can be hard on the neck but I'm having trouble
getting my breathing right when swimming head down!

I'm a cyclist..obviously...my sn..but I love swimming
even though head up..I'm 6'5 185 and swimming especially
the sprints omgosh you just breathe sooo hard..crave it..
and my body is really cut..I get up at 6:30 and swim my 45mins..
and I'm a trucker so it makes my DOT physicals easy!
