Many women echoed her feelings, and then she started to joke: “have a good swim…don’t be nervous…don’t swim on top of each other…watch out for each other…” I couldn’t help but internally roll my eyes at this woman. After a couple of minutes of only hearing the sounds of the lapping water and the nearby crowds on the beach, one of the women in my wave started to call out good luck’s and support. As my mother told Pete while he was shaking his head about my lack of swimming prior to the race: “well, she’s always been a strong swimmer.”Īs the gun went off for the wave before us, we headed into the water and treaded near the start buoys until our gun would fire. I rested on the fact that I’ve always been able to hop in the water and go. Swim: Why was I so damn confident going into the swim? As you can see, I SEVERELY skimped on training. I did hop on the treadmill for at least 5 minutes after every single trainer session to train my legs to transition from the different sports. I figured the training I’d been putting in for the other races would hold up.
