23 minute swim.
Check it, people. Wait for it...wait for it...
I stayed in the water at the end of a lap and stayed UNDER water, turned around at the wall, KICKED off it and continued swimming!!!!
I realize this is no kick turn or flip turn or really any type of legit turn, HOWEVER it did allow me a more seamless workout with no wall support, extra breath at the wall or relief. It seemed to me that up until now I was doing what in running would be considered a walk/run program & now I am entering into a straight run program.
Baby steps, my friends, baby steps.
I felt like a rock star at the end of my swim!!! I should have jumped out of the pool at the end of the workout and done some serious air guitar to celebrate, but I only thought of that now.
Next time...
I would PAY to see you air guitar on the pool deck in your swimsuit and goggles girl! I remember from my swimteam days...many many moons ago...how awesome it was to just keep swimming lap after lap after lap without stopping. I think I'd keel over if I tried that today ;-) But my walking, crunching thing is working for me right now.
ReplyDeleteDeja Armstrong! You were on the swim team?! Hmmm...let's visit the town pool with the kids this summer so you can show me how the experts get it done! Dibs on holding Egan in the water while I watch you do laps :)
