Personal Swim Training - Mar 16

My cousins left back for Chicago today, so I figured I no longer had an excuse for not training. :(

I convinced Kerem to head out too, and he gladly obliged, which is always good, since he motivates me quite a lot. The only problem was the pool was way crowded by the time we got there by old ladies, kids, and guys floating around in two lanes!

Regardless, I put on my new training fins and started doing my warmup, and amazingly the fins were really helping me keep more streamlined in the water and I realized the number of my strokes had decreased significantly, not to mention my speed increased quite a bit!

I was overtaking most of the people in my lanes both ways, with the fins giving me the extra boost. The only fin I was missing was the one on my back!! ;)

While we did not get to do long runs, I think we got atleast 1500 or so yards in for the day, just a slight warmup for the week ahead!

Tha...Tha...Thats all Folks!! ;)
