Workout 11/23 Swim

Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I met Mike (one of the coach's) at the San Ramon 24 hour and had a swim workout. He videotaped(if it is digital, is it still considered videotape?) me during my first couple of laps. I was taking 23 strokes to complete one lap. We did a lot of drills over the next hour to improve my form. Lots of body balancing, etc. I do not feel comfortable during the swim. I always have a drowning feeling. I cannot relax my body or my breathing. I feel like I have only one speed which wears me out quickly. But after an hour of drills, Mike videotaped me again and now I was taking only 20 strokes. Pretty good improvement.

Both Mike and Sedonia sent me emails today commenting on my improvement. I was reallly stoked by how it went. I still don't feel comfortable yet, but there is really nowhere to go but up!!!!

We shall see how tomorrow goes.....
