OK, how many people on here would rather be a runner than a swimmer, but due to injuries or something else have been forced to turn to a sport that has less impact on the body?
I swim as cross training for running. I found that every day running did not work for me(although I would love to if I could) but 3 times per week does even with high mileage.
I do love swimming and the feeling after a good workout, however, for me, it cannot compare to the feeling of running. It is so much more relaxing and provides better "thinking time than swimming".

I started running more when I started doing Tri's last year. I do not like running at all. But I know I need to get better at it. Running and biking are what I do to cross train for swimming, though.
I've actually heard in the past year about a new event. It's called AquaBike. It's a TRI with no running. The name seems a little awkward to me. (People always think I'm talking about those things with big wheels). I hope it catches on! :fish2:
