legalmooseGood swim drills this morning. Gradually getting more comfortable in the water, and when you're concentrating on form somehow you just don't notice all the laps melting by...
Did finally notice what it is with me and longer swim distances: I tend to work too hard, start to get out of breath, which then triggers a "get to the end so we can rest!" impulse in ye olde bodye, which is of course counter-productive to catching one's breath. ;-p So that'll be something to work on in the future - calming down when I start to feel out of breath, stretching out and slowing down. Form, form, form. Whee.
Otherwise it's going well. The other realization this morning was that if I want to do all the things I'd like to do, it's probably going to mean at least a few days of two workouts a day. Eeck.
