And this is where I am.
I am not unhappy to be here, just a bit over-whelmed. I love to swim, but freestyle and a 1/2 mile freestyle at that, over-whelmed is an understatement. But tonight it seemed that things were finally beginning to click.
Jackie, my tri-buddy, and I began the evening with a warm-up. One lap side stroke each side. Then we moved onto two laps of the breast stroke. The last phase of our warm-up was something new for us. We used the noodles we found by the pool and did a couple of laps just working on our breathing. What a difference that seemed to make.
Our freestyle laps were less stressful and we found the breathing a little more manageable. We completed 20 laps tonight, more than a quarter mile, and felt really proud of our accomplishment. So, on Wednesday and Friday, this is where you will find us!
