Open Water Swimming
Last weekend was my first open water triathlon, and it was an interesting experience. Swimming in open water is NOT EASY. First of all, you can't see anything, so that is fun. Second, a mass start consists of a ton of skinny people running into the water who then proceed to kick and hit each other while trying to swim around a designated course.
The wetsuit is a bit constricting in my opinion, and I find myself learning to swim all over again, but with less air.
So..... hit and kicked, while breathing through a straw. Whats not to like? |
