Team triathlon as the swimmer.

Swim because I’ll be able hopefully to do it when I’m ninety.

1994 Hawaii Ironman was my favorite and worst race. My bike and swim splits were quite good. My back was tweeted having used a new tribike for the first time (not recommended); making the run a painful experience.

The pool reopened so everything is fine.
