That sounds pretty smart. As far as transitions go: rather than super fast, a friend of mine got a massage during a transition. That sounds pretty smart.

You can also get a little cap that goes over the end to make the air-hole smaller to help with your training/breathing http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/1221.htm you want to be sure to get a swimmer’s snorkle (used them all the time for swim team training).

I can't believe it! You're going to do a Triathalon! How funny. Can't wait to see pictures of you enjoying a ride on a recumbant next year. *grin* Good luck with all the new training techniques. My favorite are the bricks. Congrats on making it through the marathon btw. :) I don't make it over to post very often anymore, but I still read via RSS feed. :) -Liss So it took me about 4-5 paragraphs to realize that you weren’t joking, and yet when I reached the end of your post I was still looking for the gotcha!

Though surely a wetsuit will help with that part...anytime you can stop swimming and still stay afloat is a good thing. No wetsuit thou and the constant forward motion-glide/stretch/relax part really becomes important. At least if you wanna breath. Fatty..when you learn to swim, try to learn to breath on both sides (ie: every third stroke, not every second). Thats a much more efficient breathing pattern for long distance, and the bonus is you get to see both sides of you all the time. It would be much easier to just learn that from the start...took me a LOT of time in the pool to learn that to the point where it felt natural...overcoming old habits are very hard.
