Gulp......this is it!!

Well I think I've now committed myself! Yikes! A clent of mine has just achieved her goal of cycling through France. On the way home she thought about what I said about setting a new goal and came up with the idea that she would like to try a triathalon- just a mini one. She told me about an event in Jan run by Ramsay Health Care re Breast cancer. Now that sparked my interest enough to throw caution to the winds and let my fellow runner/cycler/swimmer know about it too. Now it looks as though I've committed myself to this too!! The real baby event only has a 100m swim ( in a pool!!) the next level- a 200m swim and the next a 300m swim. Hmmmmm.....I did ask my client if flippers were allowed. She had the cheek to say 'no' but this could become a goal for you!!! ( who's the client and who's the 'master' here??????) lol.
so now I need to hit the pool and try and wean myself off the flippers. If you don't see me on here anymore it's cos I've drowned on the way!! guess it's good to have a goal

Wow that's really exciting Linda. You will do great, but I love flippers too :)

Ditch the flippers and get one of those little swim boards. You'll be surprised how hard those little legs of yours will have to work to get you to the end of the pool. For added fun go backwards holding the board on your chest. Bet you will find 2 laps are the limit to start with.

Flippers are for sissy la-la's. heheheh

I do that with the board and I get NOWHERE!!! I've been told about total immersion swimming and am going to do a free session later next month. It seems as though there is less action from legs required. I'll let you know if I drown or not!

I've never heard of total immersion swimming. You'll have to tell us what you do.
