#34 "Have You Really Trained for an Ironman, Until You've Braved a Swim in the Irish Sea?" WEEK 5 RTIM
Description
Week 6 Road To Ironman
This week, I had my first experience swimming in open water in Ireland, specifically in Fenit, Co. Kerry. The thought of it alone would have been enough to convince me it's madness at the best of times, but seeing the boys clocking up kilometers on Strava week in and week out in preparation for Ironman Copenhagen— which was happening during the recording of the podcast—was beyond inspiring.
I went to Fenit under the guidance of @davidfitz_tri, who would protect me and show me the way... but I didn’t get very far. It was a washing machine of fun, to say the least, but it was an experience. I remember that a year ago, if you told me I would swim 750m in a sprint triathlon, I would have been extremely satisfied. So, after I covered the distance somewhat, I called it a day.
BUT I WILL BE BACK.
