Swiiming is fun when you do it right!!!
I just finished my swim workout. 1000 Meters and I could have done more, as I started the prescribed workout I was wondering if I could finish since it was so much farther than I have ever gone, But as i got into the workout and used the skills that i have been reading about, It started to feel easier!!!
One more day in the pool this week!!! Can't wait.

good workout day
Good workout tonight, One hour on the trainer while i watched the 2010 tour, I forgot how much I anguished over lances final tour. He crashed three times in the 7th stage, but hung on and finished the tour, He is a stud.
Oh well...back to my workout, LOL I rode 15 miles and kept my heart rate very low zone 2+ the whole ride, I'm dealing with a little lower back pain that I think will go away but a bother, none the less.
Tomorrow is a big swim day, supposed to swim 1000 meters. Double the farthest I have ever been and I'm a little nervous about it but I am supposed to go real slow and 400 of it will be drills so I should be fine.
Last night I did a workout that had one legged pedaling. OMG if you have never done it, it is very hard. My right leg needs work!!!!
Have a great night everyone.

First Day in the pool
I was a little nervous about getting in the pool today, Not because I can't swim...I got that covered. LOL
It was because I really don't know how to train for swimming, I purchased a swimming for triathlon program that included a video and that helped and gave me a few drills to work on. I started by doing the drills as a warmup and then worked on turning my hips with each stroke and breathing. I ended up swimming 600 meters which was 200 more than I ever did in a workout. I felt good and the feeling I got from accomplishing this was great. I will be spending 3-4 days a week in the pool until july. I should be much better soon.
I followed that up with a 2 hour ride on my regular road bike and avg 136 HR for 2 hrs I was very happy with that as well, I worked on form and pedaling technique since the effort was so low.
my goal is 11HRs of training this week. 2.5 down!!!!
