SWIMMING UP THE EFFICIENCY!

Wow! Well I got the whole work-out in this time: Total Immersion Swim.

It was awesome... my only question is the whole 2 switch and then 3 switch. I think the whole time I was swimming 3 switches, thinking it was 2.

WARM UP: 400 metres... I could already feel myself improving after Tuesday's work-out. I'd like to make my flip-turn more efficient. I was keeping up with the gal' beside me except she could fly ahead on the turn arounds.

Total Immersion: 400 metres drill...

Cool Down: 300 metres... The cool slicing feeling faded after 100 metres... then I felt like a drag in the water... lots to build on. I'm not quite gliding yet, in other words I don't really let my arm stay straight out for long before I begin my stroke. I'm worried that it will mess up the timing of my breathing if I try and glide for an extra few seconds... Something to work on.

Total: 1.1 km.

Made it to chapel today! Ate a power bar, veggie dog and banana for breakfast.

Met A triathlete at the pool today- she would like copies of the swim routine. I'll have to laminate them before my next work -out.

Pain Monitor: I went in for a massage yesterday, she did lots of work on my right IT band- which is extremely tight. It felt so good, yet the massage was sharp and strong. She also worked on my quads. Today my right hip/ glutes feel strange. Must get in some yoga today... I would like to ride with Steph tonight.
