It has been nearly a week since we learned that many participants were cut off from the swim in recent Ironman Lapu-Lapu, and we can sense their frustration.
We are certain that all of them gave their utmost effort, preparing diligently to complete the swim, but there are uncontrollable factors that can affect such outcomes. The lessons from this experience are valuable insights into to what we should focus on and provide us a better outcome.
To achieve success and confidence in open water swimming (OWS), consider these three key elements to ensure your improvement on your next attempt:
a. Training - Training is crucial, just like in any sport, to train specifically for the race you are preparing for. Best that you can find a group where you are comfortable and can learn the essential in gaining the necessary mileage and skills improvement.
b. Exposure - There are a number things that you cannot simulate during pool training which you can only acquire during races or training events. So best that you find any OWS clinics, events or alike to enhance your OWS skills.
c. Technique - It is important to stay comfortable and faster in the Openwater that's why technique plays an important role. Usually, this coincides with training or during your off session or maybe best just right after an event. You may also Find a coach that can help you better your form.
