I am on vacation for most of the summer and can only get to my computer two days a week. I keep checking in to see how you are all doing.There is not much action on the swimming front.
You are about half way through your season. Are your swim times getting faster? Does your new wetsuit fit and was it worth the high price? Have you been drafting instead of fighting in the open water? When was the last time you were videotaped?
Sometimes a little reminder goes a long way. Do a body check the next time you swim. How is your head position? Where do you look when you take a breathe? Is your shoulder leading the recovery or is it your hand? Are you still working on increasing toe and ankle flexibility so that you have an uninterrupted flow line from finger tips to end of toes? Are your hips leading your stroke or are your driving to the bottom of the lake?
It is easy to get caught up in training and competition. When was the last time you took your significant other out for a great meal, movie or play?
Have you had a conversation with a non-triathlete and talked about something other than the lastest tri equipment and training strategy?
Enjoy your summer, play hard, go the beach and enjoy the sun.
