I'm 59years old and getting ready for Sharkfest in June. I'm starting to develop some shoulder soreness from my efforts. I'm wondering if being a bit older that I might need more recovery between swims, I'm currently training every other day.
Ron & all others preparing for Alcatraz:
The roughest part of the Alcatraz swim is the so-called "negative pit in the middle of your stomach." In other words, the roughest part is all the negative mental stuff running through your brain between now & the time you jump off the ferry. Once you do jump, you will be in the moment and have the swim of a lifetime. One must do: halfway through the swim - stop for 10-15 seconds & look behind you to really see the "Rock"; then look to your left to see the sun coming up over the Oakland hills; then look to your right to the brilliantly orange Golden Gate Bridge shimmering in the sunlight; and then :applaud: check out the majestic skyline of San Franciso. It's a mental video that will stay with you the rest of your life.
Have fun and enjoy the heck out of one of the best swims in the world.
