The Swim Lesson

I love my swim coach.  She encourages as she teaches and she see positives in areas I see negatives.  One hour of swimming is a lot of swimming but I made it due to her.  Today's lesson was a great one. I am working on getting myself ready for the 2015 season which starts in about 6 or so weeks.  I am already signed up and am looking to expand my season by another 3 to 5 more races than I did last year.  But I know that no matter how many races I run I must conquer the swim first.  Whether I agree with it or not swimming is apart of the triathlon.  And due to that I have to get through it no matter what.  Even if I die while swimming and they come and revive me I know that I would STILL have to finish the swim first before I am allowed to go forward.  So that is why Coach Lyndsi is so important to me.  Because without her I would still be that person that is looking at the water and saying you want me to do WHAT and followed by the words OH HELL NO.  But since she has helped me since day one I am actually in the water and while I am still panicking I am at least seeing improvements along the way.  Hopefully this season I will improve on my swimming times.  It truly is the only thing I want to see improve the most.  I would love to see my cycling and running times improve but in the end if I can see improvements in my swim then no matter how bad the rest of the race might be I will still be able to say at least I saw improvements in my swim.
