Days 11-14

This word I am about to use is one that I have seem to being using a lot. And I hope it changes soon. These four days were a wash and I hate to say it, but I really did nothing. There was only one thing that I did that was really helpfully, but I will get into that later.

Thursday - I didn't get a chance to do anything. Jordan and I had errands we had to do and by the time we got done it was to late. Since I worked till 3:30 and then was doing errands till almost 8 pm.

Friday - Was a busy day with, because it is my fast turn around day, but I did get a chance to do a swim analysis done. It was very help full and informative.  A swim analysis is someone that videos your swim from 3 different angles, one above water and two underwater. Then they sit you down and break down your swim and tell you what you are doing wrong and right and how to fix it.
Here are some of the things I found out.

• I have very high head position when I breathe, so I need to focus on lowering my head.
• My right arm I windmill in the recovery, and in the finishing end off the stroke my right hand is wide.
• I drop my elbow on my left side slightly
• I let my wrist break in the the stoke

So those are the things I will be working on and I was given drills that will help that. I can't wait to jump in the pool and work on them to make my swim stronger!!!! Looks like I will be adding some drills into my swim tomorrow.

As for Saturday and Sunday I did nothing for training. I took the weekend to fly up to Milwaukee to surprise one of my friends for her 30th Birthday!!!! I was a fun weekend helping her celebrate. I can say one thing it is a good thing I started my training 2 weeks early so Misty and I can train together so I am not feeling completely upset about my training so far. This week should be a good week for my training!!! I can't wait.
