It's been pointed out to me that it has been some time since I've blogged. In fact, there have been no entries since last year. In the next few days, I'm going to try to do some posts about my trip to New Orleans and Mexico.
As for training, it is going okay. Yesterday, I did a 4K swim. This was the longest time and distance that I have ever done for a swim. I felt good at 3K. At 3,300 meters, I started to feel fatigue in my arm and back muscles. The last 700 meters were a struggle to complete. However, I did it, and I'm looking forward to the next long swim scheduled for March 1: a 5K.
Today was another swimming day. I was scheduled for HR Masters but I didn't go because I stayed in Arvada. Actually, I have not made it to any scheduled Masters workouts. I don't feel ready to swim in a Masters group yet and the 5:15 am start time makes it even less appealing.
With no specific swim workout, I was inspired by watching Doreen work on flip turns after the swim yesterday to work on flip turns today. It went better than I expected, and I'm looking forward to working on them again tomorrow. At the next long swim, I want to do flip turns at least every other 5o meters.

Do it all the time. Flip turns are good for you! You get to go faster, work on your lung capacity, and have fun streamlining.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya a/b Masters! When "the boy"... Steve, puts it on my schedule and it fits our a.m. school schedule, I'll be there w/ ya... shaking in my suite! I am sure "my boy"... hubby, will do his best to fit the crazy H.R. public school schedule. But, I hear ya.
