Swim Update

In my swim last week the goal was to change my stroke slightly to the "total immersion" way and I think I was successful: I was able to cross the pool in 19 strokes, and in almost half the time as others in the pool (who were taking 50 strokes, no joke, to cross).

Now, usually I swim in a pair of board shorts, but last week I decided to swim in a pair of tri shorts. What a difference! I felt like I was just gliding through the water. Highly recommended. I picked-up a couple pairs of "Jammers" (basically bike shorts without the pad) for future swim practices.

Don't worry, Speedos are NOT in my future (out of respect for everyone else in the pool)!
