1. I would rather die in the water hammering it than on the couch eating bacon flavored cheese curls.
2. I feel as though a lot of these "studies" are aggresively studied by those looking for a reason for why they can never do what we can.
3. I was a apart a 2 long distance tri's last year where they cancelled the swijm because of 2' waves. Many of these athletes thing they are entitled to a life changing sporting feat. However, they want to do it within 3 months and then they need rescued from death or ruin the event for those that put the time in.
4. If you can't swim, don't. Be a duathlete. It's also very respectable.
