Did a swimming session last night.
400M warmup
40 minutes of worked drills on reach, breathing, relaxation and leg work. I've come to the conclusion that swimming is more like golf than running or cycling. Its more technique than fitness. You also need to remember the oxygen debt problem that you get at the start of any exercise is much more severe in swimming than other sports due to the limitations on breathing. No need to panic, its all much nicer after the first 300m or 10 minutes. Well maybe nicer is an exaggeration, it just stops getting worse :O)
600M slow and steady practice
200m warmdown and stretching.
I'm sore today, probably hardest swim session I've done. Need to get my mind on relaxing in the swim leg and just cruising round the buoy and back. No need for heroics. Finish in a state to continue. I still need more confidence in this leg. Truth be told I'm frightened and excited by it in equal measure.
