I can totally relate to the cold water issue. I'm originally from Maine where the ocean is cold year round. I live in Massachusetts now so it's not as bad. I usually just stick to the pool until June or July. Do you swim at a pool in addition to your open water swims? Please don't give up on triathlons! Finding time to train while having kids to look after has always been the toughest challenge about being a tri-mom. I hope you stick around for my next post which will tackle this very issue. Thanks, Susan Thanks for your comment Jeana.

I tri in the Pacific Northwest where open water swim practice before July is really uncomfortably cold! (running in the rain is OK but cycling is also a bit problematic) But I feel like I have to do my races in June because after the kids are out of school it is impossible to keep up my training. I've started thinking that maybe triathlon isn't the right sport for me after 8 years. Someone convince me otherwise! Or suggest something new! Thanks!
