I am an alumni at Florida International University where I am a member of the gym. This week I found out that I have FREE access to the Olympic size pool at the state park right next to the campus. So I went ahead and did some lengths, after stopping by sports authority and picking up some good goggles and skin tight swim wear.
I have never swam with anything other than board shorts, and let me tell you what a difference. I was swimming much faster while being able to control my technique. Less effort, more distance traveled per stroke, better speed.
After finding this awesome pool, my motivation level just got to 11 of 10.
Just that, today Saturday I am going to take the day off from training, I’ve got some birthdays to attend, get a tan, relax. Tomorrow will be the same, only difference that I get to be next to a pool with marked swimming lines, so I might do some lengths.
On another note, my dad who did run two Olympic triathlons here in Florida wants to train with me, that will help me get motivated and I will be able to better do the Swim/Bike/Run drills.
Thanks for reading.
