You will get through it. Think about that triathlon where you won best female. You wouldnt have won if you SUCKED at swimming! Keep your head up! You are my hero:)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168151944437250006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-30853616947428785482008-02-27T15:17:00.000-06:002008-02-27T15:17:00.000-06:00At least you got up the nerve to join a swim class...At least you got up the nerve to join a swim class! I don't even dare join one for fear of being the worst one out there! Great job on the trial test. Wish we could run together, I'm doing a 9:05 right now too. I have no words of wisdom, as this triathlon training is new to me, but I figure that as long as you're working hard and lovin' it, then it's all good. Motherhood is hard enough, don't put added stress on yourself, you're doing great.faithrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02069832203005476377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-12547996029442868732008-02-27T12:59:00.000-06:002008-02-27T12:59:00.000-06:00I'll give you my swimming if I can have your runni...I'll give you my swimming if I can have your running. Deal?<BR/>I hate my slow running so bad I'm re-tooling it and will be working my legs off to make it better. Swimming is nothing different.

(Long course is meters.) Meters are longer than yards, so you actually swam further than you thought.<BR/><BR/>I did my time trial 2 weekends ago and did 1400 in 31+. The woman who I partnered with that day did 1400 in 30+. There you go - 2 women who are slower than you.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367307484291653191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-34669685759629406782008-02-27T09:34:00.000-06:002008-02-27T09:34:00.000-06:00That is not a bad swim time.

I had a lifeguard come over to me and offered me a kickboard, I think so she would not have to jump into the water to save me. However if she had to give me cpr, I would not have complained.Marathoner in Traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644005438770813477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-51407980490100273092008-02-27T08:56:00.000-06:002008-02-27T08:56:00.000-06:00Don't beat yourself up.

I am putting a hold on my swim. I am focus on technique though. Let's see where that will get.<BR/><BR/>We are triathletes. It is not just the swim. It is the bike and the run after that makes it complete.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227378544813320248noreply@blogger.com
