new week

Monday it is. I was poorly disciplined this weekend and stayed up late on saturday night watching episodes of "the Wire" on dvd. Wow, what a cool show. 5:45 seemed earlier than last week. Once I got to the pool it was ok. The first few laps were hard but as I got warmed up it went OK.

Shea, the coach gave me some good advice on head position. Apparently my head is full of water and doesnt really sink or float. I was holding mine too high and having the top of the head out of the water was pushing the rest of my body down too far under the surface. These habits are hard to break. I like to see where I am going. Looking straight down will take some getting used to.

Turns are another thing that I need practice on. I am so out of breath each length that I use the turn as a cheat for a couple of breaths. I need to go to the pool and practice flips without being out of breath.


Lets see what this week holds...
