Golf in the pool?!

Workout: Golf drill (trying to get the lowest time + fewest strokes)

A lot of stuff happened at the pool tonight. The other TNT team that's training for the San Diego triathlon was there training in the pool with us. Their even is next weekend. They looked in shape and mentally focused. Sam was there too and took a picture of me in the pool. Hopefully I can post that soon.

I got caught cheating today with my balance drills. I hardly move with my kick and by the time I get done with my drills my legs are soo tired. So I was paddling with my arms to move faster and Gabe, a mentor caught me. He told me to keep my arms at my side and just to kick. Busted! Later on he told me, the only person I was cheating was myself. Makes a lot of sense. Who am I competing with in training but myself. Stay honest and work through it, things will get easier.

The golf drills really had my heart pumping and somewhere between the two drills, I started feeling the rush of the water as I was understanding how to properly glide. I cut the number of strokes I needed to do 50 yds. in the pool from 46 to 38. Victor, the asst. coach, noticed that my stroke was a little lopsided and suggested I practiced bilateral breathing (breathing on both sides every third stroke, instead of the same side every other.) I'll need to work on it. I can't get my face up high enough when I breath on the left side and end up drinking a lot of water. It's also another thing to remember along with body rotation and arm motion. Oh multi-tasking...
