So I always have work out/fitness goals. I have completed two half marathons and two century bike rides (Most appropriately call Mountains of Misery). I have now decided to branch out and learn to swim so I can complete a sprint triathlon. I am not stopping there though because my ultimate goal is to do a 1/2 iron man. Why? Why not? I am 33 and feel like I am just as fit or even more motivated to be fit than ever. I have done many, many bike rides over 50 miles and successfully completed two half marathons. If I can learn to swim I can do this..I know I can!
So this swimming thing has been a humbling experience. I swam one lap...yes 50m and felt like I was going to die....I guess that is what over 20 years out of the pool does for you. I have now gotten the "stroke" and "kick" down and have started working on endurance....I can almost do 75 m...and I have how many for the 1/2 Iron man???? I think one mile...yes I have my work cut out for me! :-)
Patience, Patience Not something I have much of.
