Workout: Coached swim practice
I got off of work early today, because Steve over at Open Road Bicycle Shop called me up and said my bike was done. I was quite happy with it, there's a lot of quality components on it and it looks really sexy. There's a giant red racing strip on it. Steve said, "It looks a lot better than it actually is." Haha, good one, Steve!

Today was also swim practice and we had a substitute swim coach. Joy is fantastic. I think she's worked with so many people on their swimming that she knew a lot of great tips that really helped directly with common problem areas. Her best advice for me was to keep my arm straight ahead and gliding as I pulled my other arm out of the water. If you start your stroke too early, it causes your body to sink. This helps maintain my center of gravity and keep my body streamline. She really pushed us too. She kept the drills lined up one after another and it felt like a great workout.

The first time I met her at Señor Fish, I had no idea who she was but she let me share her chicken salad as I waited for my fish platter to come out.
