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.

My shoulders blew up. Ended my career with surgeries. Haven’t swam since. Have had ankle and knee surgery since then as well. So I get very little enjoyment from exercising because I can’t do much of anything like I used to… can’t swim, can’t run. Going to start doing long range hiking soon as next goal, that is fun and challenging.

My wife did distance swimming in high school and a few years back decided to try a few sprint triathlons. She hadn't competitively swam in years but it was pretty wild to watch her post a top 2 or 3 swim time, then end up like 20th because her bike and run were so bad
