At first, I was quite apprehensive \u2013 the sea felt unfamiliar and intimidating. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying the experience so much that I participated in a few exclusively open water races, something I never imagined I would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I continue to approach the sea with respect and passion, overcoming fears and living each stroke as a victory. Open water swimming has become more than just a part of my training; it\u2019s something that gives me a sense of freedom and connection with nature. Every dive is an opportunity to push my limits.\n\nEven with challenges along the way, I\u2019ve learned that each obstacle is part of the journey and strengthens our determination. The Ironman was just the beginning of a new passion that I continue to explore, with new goals and adventures on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joana Teixeira<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comecei a nadar em \u00e1guas abertas em Mar\u00e7o de 2024, com o objetivo de me preparar para o Ironman 70.3 Cascais.
