Prepping for Open-Water Season from Slowtwitch.com
Unless you live in the south, where winters don’t get too cold, your triathlon and outdoor swimming season only lasts about half of the year. Cold air temperatures drive folks indoors to do their winter training and as a result swim sessions need to be adjusted.
