Welcome to another episode of another mother runner. This is Sarah and Portland.

And this is Dimmity out in Denver.

I'm kind of reeking of chlorine from my first swim in about six months.

Oh, you started your official training for the half iron man this week didn't you

Timothy? I did I did it I started out with a bang nothing like a good you know 2500 yards in the

pool I was like oh my gosh this is a long way to go I mean that was broken up into sets but

You know start with a splash getting back on a bike because I know how to swim but it's not like getting on a bike because my body doesn't you know

because you can't sit down when you're doing it that's the difference you can lay down

but it's not the same as reclining on a bed or a couch. Yeah, yeah, and even like the breathing I was like, oh my gosh, like I used to be able to, you know, easily breathe like every third.

I'm like, oh, come on, get to that right arm again, get to that right arm again.

Look at you.

We'll get you a snorkel.

That would be a really good look for you, Dimmity.

Well, you know, when I got the bulging disc diagnosis a couple of years ago, The bulging disc diagnosis a couple years ago. The

bulging disc diagnosis. The doctor I was like well should I be

swimming he goes well it's better if you get a snorkel. I'm like okay.

But you know they do I mean you know meia sums with a pretty

like as we said before she swims with a very fast team which she's not on the

fast part but I mean those like college kids and older kids I mean they

use snorkels all the time really like real snor like they're not they're not

um yeah I mean to keep their I don't know what is about positioning or what it is

but yeah they they do sets with snorkels a lot.
