Just Keep Swimming...

Head down.

Rotate.

Exhale.

Rotate.

Don't lift your head to breathe.

Focus.

There's a lot to think about while you're swimming. Technique and what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong and how it feels when it's correct and all the minute changes that lead to more/less drag and keeping a high elbow and working on the catch and the recovery and a crap load of other stuff, too...

There are 3 triathlons that look promising: Seal Sprint in Coronado on March 18th, Carlsbad Triathlon on July 8th, and the Long Beach Triathlon some time in September.

I just need to keep swimming and running and jump back on my bike again and have fun and focus and keep it light and set goals and take it a step, stroke, pedal turn at a time...

Keep going, Glynn!!!

Technique

It's so true. Don't work harder. Work smarter.

Swim session number one went okay. I can feel how uncoordinated I am in the pool. Inefficiencies in my stroke, difficulty breathing, no rotation, weak kick, weak arm stroke...

Working on my technique will make things better.

The good news is I have plenty of time to get better.

The better news is swimming is a lot of fun.

Looking forward to the next session. Still a long way to go, but at least I'm getting started.
