People often tell me they subscribe to this email because they like things explained clearly, simply and to the point. I think that's why I really enjoyed doing today's podcast with pro triathlete and swim coach Sara McLarty. She's a straight shooter and says what she thinks which why you'll get a lot out of this if you're an open water swimmer or triathlete. We kick it off talking about changes to your technique going from the pool to open water.
