Hey everybody, I made an agreement with a friend of mine. She was looking for some motivation to step up to Ironman length triathlons. I was just looking for something to get me out of inactivity.
It's been decided, I am preparing for the Alcatraz Challenge next year(May). (And a seven day mountain bike stage race, because I need my effort to be similar to hers).
First swim was this morning. I went extremely slow, couldn't remember how to breathe quite right(haven't done much swimming since I was a kid), but it was nice! And it made my shoulders feel engaged!
To make a longish story short, I'm glad to be here. Second swim is tomorrow morning.

Hey Phil,
Welcome to the community! Swimming is both a royal pain and a blast at the same time - most things worth doing are. I'd definitely recommend trying a swim or two with a coached group. It was and still is very motivating for me. Welcome aboard and stick with it!
