My advice to triathletes out there is to try to add some open water swimming into your... arm recovery. I generally encourage my athletes to swim open water every other week if possible. Keep that in mind in your triathlon training.

Tonight there was an open water swim at Naperville's Centennial Beach. It was being coached by Experience Triathlon. My main reason for going was that the Tri I am doing this weekend is there.

I did it once and it wasn't pretty. I did it a second time and it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't great.

Tri-Group I have to do what they're doing:)...well to a point, I refuse to go into the pool. Today was the groups first open water swim and since most of these guys are newbs, most of them had never been in open water let alone the bay. Most of these guys are using their suits for the first time. Needless to say there was a lot of anxiety, hyper
