Just keep swimming

Pool swim today! 

The Oro Valley Aquatics Center is open on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings for the long course, early. I was up at 5 and in the pool at 5:30. I believe the water was about 75 degrees. 

It was hard to get in but once I did, no big deal. 

Getting back into a swim rhythm is a chore but I am excited about this portion of training. I do enjoy being in the water. I remember when I swam the long course, before the pool was closed for renovations, I loved it. It was nice to swim further without turning. I didn't really keep track of my complete distance as I mixed up a few lengths with some kickboard lengths. I want to work on the strength in my legs and kick a little harder. 

I thought that the idea was to kick less and pull more with my arms but I don't think I am kicking enough. I also want to work on my twist in the water during each stroke in order to help me reach further. 

I love thinking about all the things that I can work on as I am training. 

This will be my Tuesday and Thursday morning plan. I am tempted to swim after work as well on the shorter course at the YMCA just to work on some sprint drill and intervals. We shall see.

Weighed myself and I was weighing 136. I will be curious how the weight shifts or goes up and down based on what  I am doing. I am going to keep track of that also. My food intake hasn't been bad. I am really conscious about what I eat. I am actually starting to enjoy my coffee black.

One thing is for certain...swimming makes me really hungry!

    I feel the term "Triathlete" is for those that are professional in the sport. I aspire to be like them. I love to swim, bike and run and when I can do them together I feel like I am just a step closer to being a "Triathlete".
