What's funny is the thing that holds me back from a tri is the biking. I don't care much for biking and I only have a mountain bike so it makes it even less likely that I will do one!! Ah well, I read and live vicariously through others.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638725150045549860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908166.post-50653465101192479992007-03-25T12:25:00.000-07:002007-03-25T12:25:00.000-07:00I'm with you on the swimming.

Well, O Wet One, I wish you well in that swim class and on the road to Hopkinton. And even if you haven't been able to comment on your own blog that much, I have noticed the steady stream of contributions on mine. Thank you for that!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908166.post-2371230882519592182007-03-21T08:04:00.000-07:002007-03-21T08:04:00.000-07:00> Then I read posts and comments from> all of you ...> Then I read posts and comments from<BR/>> all of you guys and remember what an <BR/>> amazing support system running and <BR/>> blogging is.

I have seen some people do amazing things in the swim class I coach (which is about 50% new triathletes right now, and many of the rest are runners waylaid by injuries). It really only takes a bit of technique work to get most folks off and swimming. Congrats on your 1600m, that's a lot!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908166.post-58586034756273331832007-03-20T19:24:00.000-07:002007-03-20T19:24:00.000-07:00Good for you.

I just don't know if I can wrap my mind around it. Anyway, good luck to you, I think that's a great step!JustRunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621925857881380555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908166.post-53037222048312583302007-03-20T13:34:00.000-07:002007-03-20T13:34:00.000-07:00I am in a Tri class that so far has been all swimm...I am in a Tri class that so far has been all swimming. I have learned a TON. I really sucked at the breathing thing and now I am just sorta suck at it. The learning curve is pretty steep at first. Good luck.Triseverancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15303357589405694565noreply@blogger.com
