I get these awful headaches when lake swimming. I am training for a triathlon this summer and it may be my nerves. I have been swimming in a pool all winter and the lake does bring a bit of the unknown (in more ways than one)... but seriously. At the pool, I do think I have been cheating more than I had realized. I breathe a lot at each end when I turn. In the lake, I have to keep going and going and going and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Yesterday, when I got out of the water after only swimming for about 20 minutes I thought I was going to throw up! My head was throbbing...I was so nauseous! ...the lake wasn't all that cold, but it was a tad bit chiller than the pool. Any ideas?

That is so cool that you would be willing to use your tandem to help others. The most challenging part of the race for me is the biking. I don't own a tandem so I have to train for the bike portion either in the gym or sometimes my coach loans me this gadget that I can ride my own bike in my home. Still, it is far more fun to be out on the open road and more effective to train for 'real' situations.
I would think if you google locally and make it known that you are available people will take advantage of your offer. Also, you could let the local bike shops know of your goodwill.
I hope you connect with someone...they would be very fortunate to have found you!
