Swimming is the BEST way to recover from an Ironman. Soreness, chaffing, and sunburns are no excuse for avoiding the beach or pool. I PROMISE an easy swim will make you feel better!
The day after Ironman Florida I did a short (20 minute) shake-out swim in the Gulf. Lucky for me, the race day waves were gone and I was treated to an absolutely gorgeous day.
Yesterday I hit the Dynamo pool for a very easy 1600 yards. Naturally, I ended up talking so much that the swim still took me more than an hour, but I did feel better afterwards!
Get yourself in the water after your next race. Every stroke will make you feel better, getting you ready for your next race or offseason fun!
