RUNNERS! Is the swim holding you back from your first triathlon? 🌊
It almost stopped me!
I was terrified of swimming ½ mile in the ocean for the Zuma Triathlon. But after months of training, a lot of encouragement, and a little courage, I DID IT!
And I actually loved the swim! Who knew?! 😂
As a physical therapist and longtime runner, I know how important it is to prepare your body. But this experience reminded me that building confidence, having fun, and surrounding yourself with supportive people matter just as much.
I’m so glad I didn’t let fear keep me from trying something new at 52!
Runners, would you ever try a triathlon? Or is the swim a dealbreaker? Tell me below! 👇
