Pool Time

     After a month of down time due to repairs, my swimming pool is open again.  Actually it has been open for the last two weeks and I have been ignoring that fact to concentrate on my run.  This morning I decided to break away from running and get back to the pool.
     I swam 2000 meters at a somewhat fast pace.  Well the first 1000 was fast and the second trailed off a little at the end.  I really concentrated on trying to fix my form.  For those that know me and have ever watched me swim, I really can't.  I think I may have addressed it earlier, but I don't use my legs very well at all.  I was trying to master the flutter kick this morning but it ended up turning into a body roll side stroke kick thingy.  I don't know.  It was faster than my normal stroke but it still doesn't look or feel right.  I often times look up on a breath to see the lifeguards staring and I always wonder what is going through their heads.  Maybe they think I look awesome!  Who knows.  I have a few months to get it down as long as I keep working on it. 
     As important as it is, the swim is less than 10% of an Ironman race, so I will work on my stroke when I can, but my focus will continue to be on biking and running.
