I do not like swimming. I’m not referring to casual frolicking in the water with kids or friends, but to lap swimming. I’ve never liked it. I grew up playing water polo. I love it. Swimming…boring.

Close to 2500 miles driven, lots of miles in the swim/bike/run category, and even more calories consumed, to put in for another fun/solid training adventure! We drove all...
