This month in MARATHONS & SPORTING EVENTS, we thought we'd take to water, and focus our attention on Water Based Marathons & Open-Water Swimming. (AND ITS AWESOME EXERCISE)
Meet....
Firstly, without a doubt, swimming is the best form of exercise, it is such an all-rounder and benefits you the most in comparison to any other form of exercise. What marathon enthusiasts forget is that it is an awesome sport too. Its excellent heart rate training, breathing conditioning, it is the best all over workout, its also the best body shaping exercise you can get. Cycling and Running just trains your legs, Swimming trains everything.
To prove a point, (and NOT KNOCK a sport), if body comparisons are a reason to choose to do any of the three sports, let look at the average body shape of each...(LONG DISTANCE)
Cyclists (Heavy Legs/ Skinny Arms)
Runners (Skinny Legs/ Skinny Arms)
Swimmers...(need we say anything?!)
Good sales tactic ne'?!
Now please remember, before you attack our perspective, its just our perspective and a sales technique to get people into swimming, as its not only good for an all-over workout, its also damn good for your joints, and rehabilitation.
So we continue to the Dolphin Mile...how awesome is this...Starting off in font of either uShaka Pier or the Marine Surf Life Saving Clubhouse, both of which are close to the Durban Harbour, you can choose between a 1 Mile/ 1600m swim, or the 2 lap version of the course. (You have to complete the first lap in 40min in order to participate in the long version, double lap course.) So ultimately, this race steers you in the direction of a 80 - 100 Mins Time Completion.
The dates are either the 7th of December 2014, or the 18th of January 2015, and again, this is the best opportunity to experience our lovely little land, be a part of it, be in it, see it, do it.
