Cross Training for Open Water

As an open water swimmer at heart, I got fed up with pool swimming about a month ago, and switched to almost entirely to cross country skiing 2-3 times/wk, about an hour per ski. I jumped back in the pool this week, and felt like I hadn't missed a beat; perhaps even a little stronger. I haven't had this experience with any other activity; certainly not running or biking. Now what to do about mud season - no snow and icy lakes. Hm. Hopper www.swimvacation.com

    Recently I`ve been cross training by curling 16 oz. cans of beer. Next week I`ll work up to quart bottles. I have heard that using a "bong" increases your lung size. Bong voyage Michael Phelps.
