I need to get myself back to doing something after I was hit by a car in August. I’d like to do some swimming and probably some running as well. Any suggestions on places around Rio to swim? I figure it will be easy enough to run along the beach and enjoy the “sights”. We are staying in the middle of Copacabana and my friend lives in Leme.
Hey Pete, nice to see you recovered. 
I’d like to know that too. I’ll be there sometime this winter or early spring on business. I’ll try to sneak an extra week for vacation.
I was in Copacabana last early September for 9 days right during my final build for IM Lake Tahoe. I was able to get swims in right along the beach in Copacabana. At the south end of the beach, there are tri groups that do group swims many mornings. It’s fairly calm at that end of the beach.
I got a nearly 20-mile run in by running from Copacabana to the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. I had a do a few loops around the lake, but there’s a nice path that circles the lake.

Haven’t fully recovered. Still no bike and very limited running. I just need to do something soon or I will go crazy.
