DAILY LOG 1 JUNE 2011 MUSINGS AND THOUGHTS OK. The triathlon is 4 weeks away and I don;t gave to tell you that I am getting anxious and my anxiety comes from the state of my swimming.

Swimming is supposed to be the one where triathletes train the least (relative to the other 2 disciplines) but that doesn't apply to me as my swimming isn't up to scratch at the moment. When I become proficient and less clumsy with swimming, then I can start thinking about the other

SWIM I went swimming again tonight though I am suffering from the flu. This sunday is the second triathlon clinic in PD so I get another chance to swim in open sea water. Because of the flu, I was seriously considering missing the triathlon clinic but all these thoughts left my mind completely when Grace from GraceTri-Bulations got in touch with me to ask about my swim. She found out about the triathlon clinic and without any hesitation committed to doing it. So after that, I put on my trunks and went to the pool for a workout (runny nose and all). Last night I swam breaststroke for 750m and it took me 31 mins. Tonight I did the same btut his time I alternated breaststroke and freestyle every 50m. By doing this i managed a time of 26 mins. Maybe there is hope for me after all eh? I'm still not well and I hope this flu goes away by tomorrow. It's not a great feeling to bike and run with my runny nose.
