As a card carring USMS swimmer for the past 4 years I am proud to say that I also carry the card for USATriathlon. :D
I have swam my entire life and I need to do something more than back and forth; up and down the lane. I find swim meets to be extremly boring and a good waste of a taper.
Triathlons, well, they Rock!
Anyone else out there want to stand up with me? Or am I to be forever banned from this site, never to return again untill my tires go flat and both my knees are surgically altered.

You can't claim to be a triathlete until you've bought every gizmo available, including the silly fanny belt that holds 26 - 2 ounce plastic bottles of water.
But, in all honesty, send your USMS card back.
So do you incorporate this sort of training for your tri's? If so, I may know some swimmers who would be interested in
"helping out"
;)

I'll stand up.
I just registered for my first triathlon this morning. So on October 2, I will become a tri-geek. The race is the Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon.

I don't understand all of the triathlon bashing that takes place on here. I know a lot (if not all) is in good humor, but sometimes I have a hard time reading between the lines on the subject.
I've never ran a traithlon and don't plan to. But I do have a tremendous amount of respect for those that participate in such events.
I've also swam with a few tri's and they were very enjoyable people to be around.
