Tuesday Am, 04:(its early)40
Off to the pool I go. I arrive and I am surprised I have the pool to myself. OK, its really me and the pool guy, but he's not swimming.
I start with my warm-up laps and then my drills. Both of these went fairly well. I repeated yesterday's workout as that was actually supposed to be today's. So after the warm up, I start my 10 100's.
My main focus is relaxation. I need to maintain my breathing so I can relax. I try something Sedonia said to me on Sunday and that was to try and breath every stroke. It seems a waste of energy, but if I cannot relax my breathing, I will never complete this race.
So breath every stroke I did. I had an "a-ha" moment. Not The "A-HA!!" moment, but an "a-ha" moment. I was much more relaxed. I was consistent in my 100's. Each took me about 1 min 45 sec.
Not too bad.
Mike will be at the pool tomorrow and I will discuss with him, but I feel I am on the right path.

We shall see......
