Training Streak: Day 96

6:00AM

Team Swim

This was just another swim. We threw in some sighting practice and fast starts to simulate racing in the open water. I need to get used to the sighting/breathing rhythm again. Whenever something affects my breathing rhythm with my swim I tend to fall apart. Its just going to take more practice.

They started doing "open water" swim practice in our pool - they take out the lane lines then throw buoys in there to get folks used to not pushing off the walls to swim & sighting the buoys. Haven't tried it yet - maybe next week.

Also re: your wetsuit post, I got one on sale! I was right between two sizes, so I opted for the bigger one because I hate that constriction.

Yeah we also do stuff like simulated group starts. Starts off the shallow end. Starts while treading water. And even practice drafting off of people. A lot goes into open water swimming.
