Not much to reveal about last weeks training. I did manage to keep up with daily activities and on Thursday got my Yoga workout followed by a nice swim. I swam 500 yards. Wasn't as difficult as the week prior but still finding it hard to breathe. I actually felt like Zoolander at times.... seems that I can't breathe left. I was told that swimming in the ocean it is a good idea to swim taking breaths on both the right and left side to avoid swallowing a wave. So, I tried practicing in the pool and choked! Followed by panic. So I just resigned myself to the fact that I am a one way breather.
I shared this with my daughter who teaches swim and I found out that I may be swimming incorrectly. Seems that I have been turning my head when in fact I should be turning my body. So, next swim I have to try a different approach. Wish me luck.
Saturday was another nice ride. We rode the 23 mile Fitness Faceoff route and cut off 3 minutes from our time. Plus, I wasn't as tired which must mean something good. My husband rode the 55 mile route on Sunday. Was about a 4000ft climb!! Took him just over 4 hours which I believe is phenomenal. I can't really see me doing that distance if it includes climbs.
Waiting for my swim wet suit for the ocean training. My goal for this summer is to complete the Sandman Sprint Triathlon in Aptos in August.
Until next week, eat well and have fun exercising.
