BACK AT IT!

SWIMMING IS ALL ABOUT THE STROKE!
Why do I always want to go fast when I start back training? Coach Steve reminded me today that I should be focused on stroke and not speed. The surf shorts helped to slow me down. Going from a Blueseventy suit to surf shorts is a huge difference. It felt like I was pulling parachutes underwater.
Check out Ian Thorpe's stroke when he was 14! My biggest problem at the moment is the pull and follow through!
Sneaky me! sneaky me! I got in a 25 mile bike ride today! AHAHAHA! Couldn't help myself. Lots of up and down hills. Again all I wanted to do was go fast. Time to control myself and do the right things.
