Holiday Training Fail, New Year's Resolution

Seeing...that the defendant swam only 2 times in 2 weeks over the holidays,
Seeing...that the defendant is now getting worse rather than better at swimming,
Let it be resolved...this will not happen again.

Punishable by: shame in front of my 6 regulars--love you all!

Yeah, we all have holiday regrets, no not buying my brother and his new wife a huge bean bag called a Love Sac, no not spending Christmas Eve digging my dad's 4-wheel drive out of a stream bed--smooth one pops.  That's the good stuff.

The pool is not subtle, it reminded me in no uncertain terms on Saturday, that (1) I still suck at swimming,  (2) if I don't keep going to the pool, I will suck even harder--in that out of breath I feel like I am drowning kind of way.  So I did my 600m limping and went home tail between my legs.  Only 1X200, it about did me in. 

So today (Monday) redemption was mine: a 270m long swim feeling strong and a total of maybe 750m.  I was floating along the top rather than sinking to the bottom, elongating my stroke and my air intake.  Ok, so that isn't that different, something about swimming on a shorter pool you feel like you are getting somewhere quicker. 

So I am back on the wagon again.  As always, I can only blog the bad news once I start digging myself out. 

Shout out to the parents and cousins who came up big on the Tri-gear and books for Christmas--thanks guys!  Hope you all had happy holidays and a healthy and happy New Year!
