Forgot to re-read what coach sbrdave sent me before I went swimming but sort of got an idea:

100 yards warm-up swim
400 yards skating drills (I am now alternating this per stroke where I will do my first 100 yard with either the left of right hand extended or do each 25 yards alternating left and right hand after sweet spot.
100 yards: Concentrating in hand depth position and crown of head showing
100 yards: Concentrating on leading with elbows while administering ear hops
100 yards: Concentrating on pointing my toes.

Swim

TI Drills:
600 Skating
400 Swim with 20 seconds rest every 25 yards to analyze the following:
arm position: 100
Body rotation and head position: 100
Toes pointed: 100
Skating drill again: 100

My wife told me that by observinbg me, the crown of my head is now showing and I'm no longer coming up and down like a dolphin.

I of course stopped at every 25 yards to analyze things but I had to swim cause if I only do drills, it gets really boring...so even if I swim it is not straight swimming per se but every 25 yards is based on analyzing my whole body. I too feel it is starting to feel more efficient than when Dave last filmed me.

Out in the ocean at Ocean City. This was an approximated distance!

Today and well, most past weeks were dedicated to helping my wife prepapre for her first Sprint Triathlon in the same place I did mine at Assateague Island.

She accomplished her goal of finishing with a smiole on her face!  I was so proud of her and it was tough because she would have to miss some much needed training because of her work which is VERY demanding; however, she still managed to do the race!  I have never been more proud of her!

Also enjoyed Ocean City with her and my sone after the race!

Now, I need to get back on track for my HIM training!

Travel to Assateague for my wife's first triathlon!
