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!!!).

Thanks to both Jims and Ahmed for your encouragement. I guess we all second guess ourselves sometimes, and because I have not been sick in 6 years, it has me a tad worried. And you are right, I won't be walking, I'll be swimming which is my natural environment.
I am always a back-half swimmer anyway, I let people go ahead of me as I establish my pace and then build on it. Why change now?
I'm off for an ez one mile swim today, nothing too high intensity.
