A few years ago I entere...I hate the swimming part. A few years ago I entered the local Turtleman Tri. I Signed up in the spring but didn't see my name on the list so I thought It had filled up. Day before the race I find out I'm in, and I haven't swam a mile in my life let alone in the past 5 months. Took me like 45 grueling min to backstroke a freaking mile! Elderly grandparents were passing me out there and they started 5 min back. I was kissing the beach when I made it back and had a huge head resh from going from horizantal to vertical.Good luck and don't let any elderly or handicaped pass you.Eric O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18290813335583398920noreply@blogger.com
