Friday AM, 4:40 am, jeepers, that's early.

Off to the pool for another swim. A little rain this am, but that beats the snow or freezing rain from earlier this week. I am doing group 2 workouts now, which means the distances are longer. We started with a 300 warm-up and then drills. The core of the swim was a ladder, 100, 200, 400, 200, 100. Then we had a 100 cool down. It went fairly well, but I am starting to have doubts on whether I can make the distance.

My form is improving, but I cannot find the relaxation I need. I am so tense and my breathing is so shallow in the water, I am exhausted after just a couple hundred yards. I will talk to the coaches about this, and may need to rethink how I swim. Maybe the crawl is not the answer, maybe I need to do the breast stroke or back stroke.

I think I as supposed to do a run today as well. That didn't happen.

We have a bike tomorrow, maybe I'll do both a ride and a run

Gotta run (and swim, and bike)......
