When I started swimming for triathlon my feet were anchors and I essentially swam backwards. I struggled for about 3 years, sprint pool triathlons and wetsuit swims. After working with Dinah about a year, I finished my first half ironman triathlon, Honu 70.3 in Hawaii. It was a beautiful non-wetsuit 1.2 mile swim in the Pacific Ocean. I was 60 years old. Ann P.
