Hi Katie –

Ha! Thanks for your post about the swim video analysis and mention of “splashing ineffectually at the back”! I am a slow swimmer at best – a terrible one at worst. That adds up to being very scared of the IM swim. I feel like if I get through that, I will have won my race no matter what happens on the bike/run.

For those of us not used to OWS, this article was helpful to me, especially in terms of working on orienting: https://www.active.com/triathlon/articles/6-tips-to-help-transition-from-the-pool-to-open-water. Of course, Coach AJ may have better information available and I defer to her.

I would love any suggestions you all have about the swim –

Anyway – I am supposed to work on Sunday, March 31st but requested permission to leave early so I can sign up. I hope to see you then.

Thanks, Amanda
