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'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:

Sounds perfect for me, I hope someone up here organizes one soon.
Funny you should mention those things with big wheel, there's a fellow who plans to pedal across the Atlantic this year in an enclosed kayak-type vessel equipped with a recumbant bike drive train.
