Hi all,

So I just got an email from our LOSTie friend, Beth Primrose, who has taught swimming lessons and coached several LOSTies… and is a long-time professional triathlete!  Beth sent me information about designing your own tri training program… looks like a great idea if you are doing a triathlon this summer!

Have a look and contact her husband, David, at the phone or email below in you think this is something you could use!

Cheers,Ironman Championship Triathlon

Next articlewow… that’s a pretty moving story…
I founded LOST Swimming because I like open water swimming and would like to see it grow and thrive in Lake Ontario. I started as a competitive swimmer as a kid and ended up getting as far as a silver medal at Nationals and going to the Olympic Trials in 1988. But I retired after that, I was sick of swimming. So I got into running marathons and have run over 35 to date, as well as a few ultra marathons, including the Marathon des Sables (7 day, ultra across the Sahara Desert). I also kind of fell into triathlons and have done a handful of Ironman tri's too. This gradually got me back in the water and in 2006 I took the plunge and attempted swimming the English Channel. I didn't quite make it across, but the circle was now complete and after 17 years I was a swimmer again! Although I still do plenty of pool swimming, I now much prefer open water swimming and like to say that open water swimming is to pool swimming, what trail running is to treadmill running! As a result I hope to encourage more people to join me for a dip in Lake Ontario as often as we can!
