You can do it!

So, now I'm thinking that Irongirl/Columbia '07 might be within my grasp after all. Now I just have to start swimming regularly. I wonder if the lake used in the race is shallow enough that I can run and pretend to swim? Haha. Believe it or not, I heard that some folks did that at the Reston (VA) tri.
Point in case: My boyfriend said he wanted to do a tri. He couldn't swim... trust me... it wasn't pretty. But he got in the pool, 3 days a week, put in the time... and after about 3-4 months of practice... he got his 300 yard swim down to 6 minutes.

You can do it! The off season is the perfect time to get in an indoor pool to get your swimming up to par.

Good luck!
