So I was swimming yesterday at the base,doing my drills, thinking about my strokes and had an "ahah" moment. Everythng just started to feel right, and come together!  yeah! For those that know and swim with me,they know I am not pretty in the water, I love it, but it's just well, ugly comes to mind.  So I was feeling pretty good about myself yesterday, felt like I was making some progress and the swim in Ironman might not be quite as daunting after yesterday.

 So on another note,anybody have any favourite swim drills they like to do? I like to change it up, and as I said earlier I need all of the help I can get.

Only for the Tasty treats!

The other day when I swam there were no ahhh moments, just wondering who designed kicking drills evil, fun for about 50m after that tongue.

I can show you the way to an "ahhh" moment running, but I'm afraid that in the pool it might be hard to recognize during mouth to mouth...
