IMKY13 finish!!
i am planning on doing my first triathlon (albeit a sprint...swim 400meters, bike 12.5 miles, run 3.1miles). I've got the runnimg done, and the bike is okay. It's the swimming that I am struggling with. It seems as when I swim/breathe I'm always getting water in my nose. My question is this...are nose plugs allowed at triathlons? It's not until August, so I've got time to practice the swimming. Thanks!!
Fitness/weight goals for 2014
1) STAY INJURY FREE!!!
2) Get to 189 lbs by the end of July 2014...and stay there (as of 4-25-14 was at 203 lbs)
3) Complete Ironman Chattanooga in under 14 hours
4) Break 4 hours in a stand alone marathon (Goal race=Rocket City 12/13/14)
5) 4,500 total overall miles for the year:
Swim: 100 miles
Bike: 3,000 miles
Run: 1,400 miles
Unless the Triathlon your doing specifically bans nose plugs it's not a problem.
The solution to your problem is to exhale thru your nose. Always keep an air stream going.
Good luck and keep us updated.
