I apologize for the long delay - but i am still recovering from some brutal swimming sessions ... the first of these was now almost 3 weeks ago and the warm up was this 200 SKPS ... by now i sadly know what SKPS stands for - i wish i did not but by the time i got 'K' i was dead ... and when i reached the seconds 'S' i must have looked utterly ridiculous in the pool. But then again that was just the warm up and the rest of the 90 min session went accordingly.
In the meantime i have petitioned the race committee to utilize my pink swim ring for the swimming portion and i think this request has a good chance of being approved (i was told by previous participants that aids such as a snorkel and diving masks (think scuba diving) have been allowed in previous contests - but i was not able to find out if these tools were used during the swimming portion or as 'steady' breathing aids during the run and/or insect protection device for the cycling portion (for example) and speaking of the snorkel and mask respectively.
As you can see the adventure continues ....
PS: just for those of you u who are still wondering: the SKPS = Swim, Kick, Pull, Swim and requires the utilization of some 'training equipment'
PPS: i have been successful in getting myself a proper road-bike for the event (without actually buying one of these things which can easily cost north of $2500) so watch-out ...
