no, no…swim 40k per week. Reducing 10% of 80% of the energy spent on 50% of an event will provide no benefit.

I think you are intentionally being a confrontational. @JanSibbersen mentioned that he does think that triathletes can benefit from swimming more to the benefit of other sport (carry over), he did not say to not do the other sports! And swimming more is about reducing drag and increasing propulsion, and that’s exactly what biking is about too (drag vs force).

I get that you’re in the biz of reducing drag while biking, but that’s not mutually exclusive of reducing drag while swimming too.

Jan,
To clarify, by White Sands Beach, do you mean the Kona pier where the race starts?

Thanks.

Are you gonna post any videos from this for the rest of us not there, or just, "we are combining two decades of 50km swimming per week into one decade of 100km per week :slight_smile: "

Hi Jan, thanks for the swim this morning we didn’t get chance to say so in person, both my daughter and myself thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks for hosting this, Jan! Cool to see everyone out there, good turnout, nice little swim. No timing chips so no evidence of how bad I got dropped :+1:

I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! We were blown away by the attendance… over 120 swimmers showed up this morning - and everyone made it back to the beach. You guys rock, have a great week further and truly enjoy Saturday - whether you’re racing or not!
