Swim For Tri



Well hello my dearios.  Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am atrocious at swimming.  I mean, I pen on my swim hat,"Danger, slow breaststroker!"  I'm not even kidding.  So, my darling sister, who completed her first Olympic in 2:36, has bought me, for Xmas, a swim analysis to help me join the realms of front crawlers.  The chap seemed amazed that I completed the half-iron swim in 47 mins doing breaststroke, and has sworn to help me develop a crawl.  I was supplied with a dvd but will not subject you to it (or me to you watching it!).

The plan is for me to race against my brother and sister for the London Triathlon.  The video analysis was horrendous for me and I hope to improve massively.  I found it really hard to swim in the Endless Pool as it "seemed" to push my feet into the floor more than I did by myself!

When I get back to the USA next week I am getting fitted to my TTX 9.9 SSL.  I'm so unfit on the bike and will need to cane it on my aluminum roadie for awhile so I don't look like a tosser on the tri-bike.  It is sex though...

That's all.  I'm really really sorry to hear of Tea's loss though.  That sucks big time....

  1. Hey stranger. Welcome back from the blogging abyss.

    I need some stroke analysis too. I'm stuck in a rut. Let me know if it works for you. I may have to do some endless pool/video analysis myself.

  2. It works. Period. I was horrified watching the video but had some major flaws pointed out with drills to correct them. Well, well, well worth the money.

    Good to be back. It's been a horrible year personally but next shall see me in the saddle tearing it up again...
