Today I was able to take my new Garmin watch out for the first time. This is a great tool as it allows me to see my swim pace and distance! The great news is that I completed my longest swim to date and I am on pace to make it out of the water at the Coeur D'alene Half Ironman inside of the time cutoff.
Prior to 2017 I could not swim. When I say that, I mean not even casually. My first swim lesson was in January and after 12 yards I jumped out of the water in a panic. I dreaded going to the pool for months as I spent most of my time on the wall practicing putting my face in the water. It is amazing to think of where I started and where I am now.
Those cold days in the pool were hard to keep up with. Now I am grateful that I did...just 3 weeks away from the big race.
