The Start

My gym instructor suggested for a challenge to enter in to a triathlon. Up for a new challenge I said yes. I now find myself with a group of friends in training for our first event. The event itself is a 750m swim, 20kM bike ride followed by 5km run.

Race day is June 2009 which leaves about 12 weeks of training, I am not to worried about the run or the bike ride,but the thought of swimming 750m in open waters is daunting. I am a very poor swimmer with a poor technique, this is where most of my training will be concentrared on.
