Veteran  157   Fredericksburg, VA |  Subject: breakthrough swim...finally!I swam a mile continuous freestyle with no rest yesterday. I have struggled for so long and something just clicked. Tried to be SLOW and @ 46minutes accomplished that. It felt like I could swim all day. I've had this feeling running and biking for awhile now but never in the pool. Now just need to jack up the volume and consistency for Chesapeakeman in Sept. |

Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: breakthrough swim...finally! Nice work! Did you do flip turns or touch-and-go? I've been practicing flip-turns but I'm not sure if they're even useful. I suppose they could be as some of the tris are in pools. |

Veteran 157 Fredericksburg, VA | Subject: RE: breakthrough swim...finally! Flipturns? Yeah right. Not even going to attempt those. I try NOT to push off from the wall. Just enough to get going. Did another today just to prove to myself it wasn't a fluke. I don't know what's different but I know I like it. I used to dread the pool. Just going to keep going slow and steady and work on my speed later. |
