Well after not swimming for a week I was a bit out of it when I swam on Friday, but for some reason the pool I swam in on Friday seems to be a slow pool. So I just worked on stroke and left it at that.
On Sunday I went to Bakar, and again I felt inadequate. I am not sure if I will ever get better then where I am at now or not, but I certainly wasn't there yesterday. I may not be the fastest swimmer in the pool, but I have always thought that I have the best back stroke in the pool, until yesterday. And it would have to a girl. So pretty (her stroke), and so fast. She just flew down the lane and nobody could catch her. I have always said when someone swims correctly there is not a pretty sport.
I have wondered if I had proper training if I would have been faster. So as I had said long ago in this blog, maybe with proper training I can get to where I was 37 years ago. Truth is too much time has passed. I probably am as fast as I will ever be, and I might as well get used to the idea that I just ain't that fast no more.

My guess is that you are going to get a lot faster than you are now.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW you're going to get faster.
ReplyDeleteYour new tennis shoes (New Balance 956) will help make you faster by getting to the pool faster.
More competition at Bakar - therefore, more motivation! Get those competitive juices flowing.
Alternatively, we can have Taya jump in pool & bite her. Tolar is afraid of water, so Taya can bite her when she gets out.
Keep training AND follow Nolan's training regime - you'll smoke them!
