How can you do a triathlon when you can’t swim….?!?!?!?!

Up until about two weeks ago – Lara couldn’t swim, let alone put her head under water.  Not sure what happened, but she suddenly decided that she wanted to do a triathlon and somehow magically found the powers to swim and even put her head under the water.  Honestly extremely impressed and proud of her, to go and do a 750m open water swim in the ocean is such an achievement for her it is amazing.  She finished the Sprint Length triathlon (750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run) in 1hr 22minutes coming 13th out of her field of 80 odd.  She came out of the water 5th last….. I think she would be dangerous when she practises her swim a little more.  She said she loved it and was keen for more – i think we have created a monster!
