Triathlon training (old guy version) - The Swim

We do most of our swims in the local lakes with the
increased buoyancy and warmth of a swimming wetsuit.

We have one olympic distance triathlon (1.5k swim 40k bike, 10k run) this weekend,
which Ethel & I will both do.
I then have one of my own August 28th (Ironman Canada) provided if I get in good enough shape.

Ethel took this yesterday (with wet hands!) as we both exited the water.

Canon PowerShot S50
1/500s f/7.1 at 21.3mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I just remembered a movie poster of Errol Flynn that reminded me of this shot.
