Hey everyone! I decided to make a new blog and went with Blogger since almost all of the other blogs I read are published through this website. This blog will be a happy mix of my triathlon training & racing, my crazy adventures as a touring musician, and just general life stuff.
So today I did a short (seeing as how I'll be taking November off for tour and "out season") swim workout. I got to share a lane with an Olympic gold medalist! I pretty much swam with him...when I was doing my fast intervals and he was still warming up. I'm sure he's nowhere near Olympic shape now, but he was still beating all the fast guys by almost an entire length when they were doing 600s. Impressive. As for me, I just did 8x75 (2 easy, 1 fast), 5x100 best average on :20RI (went 1:40s), and 3x100 pull descending 1-3. I finally realized the other day that you don't hold you're breath when you're underwater, but you slowly breathe out continually until the next inhale (breathe, stupid!). It's a completely new experience for me to be able to swim until my muscles are sore instead of until I'm gasping for breath. However, now that I'm swimming faster, I'm still gasping for breath. :)
