Day 108: Reach for it!

Calli-
Another alarm rang and I was not ready to get out of bed. Thankfully, I was
pressured by the fact that this morning would have been my only opportunity to
swim. That’s motivation enough. Today in the water, I focused more on the 3
beat kick per pull, and I perfected my flip turns. My shoulders are sorer
because these work outs are really focused on pulling and freestyle. Next week
I will time myself in a 500 to see where I am at. Have a great day!

Jose- I have to be honest: I just made half of my swim workout today. I’m not proud but at the same time I feel like I did the right thing. My arms have been more sore than usual. There are two possible reasons that I can think of, 1- I’m not having enough rest or 2- (as Calli suggested) for the first time I’m working the right muscles. I actually have no idea what’s better, but I’d rather think it is the second. I’m trying to make my body get used to a sport I’ve never done before I started the TRI training and on top of that it is a hard workout for my level. I write all of these just to explain what’s going on, but as always the only thing I can conclude is: Work Harder! And that’s what I’ll do.
