WOW....... just ...... WOW!!!!! First time in the pool. Lesson learned...... this is not easy. I wanted to see if I could do the 500 meters and I did. Not continuous by any means but by george i dun did it and got er done!!!!!! This was also a learning experience today. Beth really helped me teaching me form and technique. Lol found out you actually have to kick ALOT. Different exercises between some of the sets and yes I did have to take breathing breaks. But I am so very happy this happened today. We now have a base line and I can only improve from here. June 9th........ 9 weeks away....... I will swim...i will ride....and I will ride!!!!!! June 9th....... Chattahoochee Challenge Sprint Triathalon.... Columbus, GA. The TRI approacheth!!!!!!!!!!
