Drew Beat the Demons
From the ET-Blog Archive
On August 12, 2007 at the Naperville Triathlon, ET athlete and webmaster Drew R completed his year long journey toward becoming a swimmer and triathlete. It was an emotional day for Drew and the ET family as we cheered our friend into the water and across the finish line. Congrats Drew!!
Six weeks before the Naperville Sprint Triathlon, I knew I was in trouble. Yessiree, no doubt about it, I was in a pickle. Less than two months to go before my first ever triathlon, and I still couldn't swim in the deep end of the pool. I sank like a stone, and I was helpless to improve. How in the world was I going to finish this triathlon?
Let me back up just a bit. Well, maybe more than a bit. A year, in fact. It had been almost one year to the day since I finally went to Coach Joe and asked him to help me learn to swim. I'd been forced to do some swimming as a Boy Scout more years ago than I care to think about, but I'd never been able to get into water that was over my head. Forget diving - I couldn't even descend a ladder into water I thought might be too deep! The years went by, and I told myself it didn't matter. I just avoided water and didn't think about it, and led a happy, albeit waterpark-free, life.

Running Myths
Over the course of these next articles, I will be focusing on running not only as a triathlete but as a pure runner. I will write about ways to improve upon your running through form, function, nutrition, strength training, and rest (yes, I mean rest) and how this will pertain to training and ultimately racing.
I first want to start with some myths that pertain to running and put them to rest....
