Well I had a swimming lesson on Tuesday and then another one today. Tuesday was very good for me more because we only got to swim about 1/2 the time due to a class so we worked on my core exercises the rest of the time. So I got some really good core exercises to do during the week and got a little bit of swimming in as well. But today it was all swim. I didn't use the snorkel once during the full hour. I got more confidence in one hour than I have had the whole time I have been swimming. Granted that whole time is still only about 2 months. But hey it still counts. I for the first time managed to get 25 meters straight without stopping. And I did that even a few times. So I am ready for the next few times of practice to work on these steps. He taught me things I haven't ever tried before and it worked as well. So while I am still wondering how this will all work for me at The Caveman Sprint Tri when I look down and see the never ending bottom but if I can swim I am thinking I can swim in even those conditions. But needless to say I am excited that a change is a coming in my swimming game. It is by far the weakest part of my game but I will be damned if it will not become one of my strongest parts of my game. I will not allow this to keep me back. I want this to become something that propels me to higher levels, keeps me in the front of the pack instead of the back and lastly I want people to know that what was meant to be a torn to my side will become the thing that I step over and say what was that...
This weekend will be fun. Will get my first chance to get some open water experience. I know I will be with all the other beginners for open water people but I can't wait to break that one and conquer yet another mountain in my life.
