I was distance swimmer, so it came with territory. I Went to national championship open water 5k in Atlantic Ocean, got 9th when I was 16. I have swimming stories for days but it’s not very cool to talk about so they just stay in my memory

Man, that's just incredible.

Curious to know if you took up triathlons and such? Kind of a natural transition for high level swimmers bc you can dominate in the water and slightly suck on the other two parts and still have a great time.

And… do you find that unless you do a high intensity workout where you stay anaerobic range that you don’t feel like you’ve done anything?

Because that was hard for me to overcome. Had to relearn how to train for function and be ok without the extreme dopamine/seratonin that comes with that sport.
