For a triathlete who owns buoyancy shorts training for a triathlon highly likely to have a wetsuit legal swim, would it make sense for them to do their pace zone structured swim workouts (i.e. all of their swims in the training plan)
always wearing the buoyancy shorts?
Different take:
At local pool, today I came across an older guy doing the Anker drill for 45 mins. (Feet at 90, Torso at 45, zero kick).
Big Garmin watch, or similar.
So after we chatted a little and I volunteered some advice, suggesting to work on body position or use g do floatation help.
His response:
“You may have noticed I don’t kick, as I am a Triathlete”.
I acted impressed and suggested pull-buoy and maybe floaty shorts.
“I hate the pull-buoy and not sure if I want use floaty shorts.”
WTF?
Suffering through 45 minutes of near drowning at an agonizing slow pace just because you proud yourself of being a Trithlete?
Never gets boring.
