Skills Training

Thursday's at Masters Swimming is much better for me since there are only a handful of people and it only lasts one hour. Today we worked at skills and I got some real coaching. For the first time ever I took breaths on both sides while freestyle swimming. Also worked on getting long with stroke and in not crossing over to the other side of my body with my underwater arm. Seems I was not swimming straight but snaking some due to my arm motion in the water.

Will keep working on technique. I may never be a dolphin but maybe a penguin. This will be a step up from the minnow I am.

Will see Dr Alice next Wednesday. Now on Day 8 of eccentric calf stretching twice a day, no noticeable progress or improvement.

Looking forward to cycling both Saturday and Sunday with the club this weekend. Not sure how hard to push it.
