This Sunday is Roatan's 6th annual International Triathlon and Pan American Long Distance. I've been swimming a lot lately, but last Saturday afternoon after completing a 3-1/4 mile swim, I got sick of all things. I have been in bed since Sunday the 4th until yesterday the 12th. I swam about a mile yesterday but all split up. The problem is overall weakness; can't walk very far without holding onto something to catch my breath. But it's only Tuesday so I hope that by this weekend, I will be recovered. Thank goodness it's only a mile swim. My partner is an Ironman competitor flying in from the States; he's doing the run and bike for our relay.
So I am hoping my past training will far exceed my being so darn sick for so long. I just want the mile swim to feel good so it's completely enjoyable.
Wish us luck, I'll report back the results later (oops, may not swim a 22 minute mile this year!!!).

Gollleee!! Thanks so much everyone; it sure helps to have support even across the miles. I will do an ez 1 mile tomorow, and then on Thursday, 900 yards of ez drills, short sprints, and no swimming Friday or Saturday. And whatever I have on Sunday, I have, and I do have a tendency to swim beyond my means when pushed (that ole competitve bug thing). And I have been eating better since being sick, replacement drinks, and NO rum and coke!!
So on Friday I will make my husband do any and all chores so I can rest with my feet up!!!
Good point Fortress: I've never had a man fly thousands of miles to swim with me :rofl::rofl:.
And I will think of all of you before that gun goes off at 7:30 AM !!!
