Wow...where did the time go? Once again, I find myself nearing the end of another Ironman journey with a tremendous amount of gratitude for my body and overall health. I have remained injury free for 15 continuous months which is a HUGE deal for me. From 2007-2013, I have been plagued with muscular-related hip and back issues which sadly, have put a halt on my running training for 4-12 weeks at a time. Additionally, the last time I experienced a sickness was in the summer of 2007. That's 7 years of no flu, cold, GI issues, infection, etc. I am so incredibly grateful for my immune system for staying so strong throughout my life, especially when I choose to train for and race in 140.6 mile triathlon events!! So here I am again, giving a BIG thanks to my body. 38 days until Ironman Wisconsin. My 9th Ironman!!! Here's a great swim workout (that I gave myself this morning) to build your swim endurance. Remember, fatigue affects breathing...
