"Where do I start?"

I set off this morning for the pool feeling 90% better so I thought I would have an easy swim.  Three of the swimmers are doing a half-ironman at the weekend so it wasn't going to be a full on session.  We received some coaching as we did drills which is always good as it allows you to think on how to improve your efficiency.  One of the drills was to push off from the wall like a torpedo with your hands at your sides.  When you needed to take a breath you stretched out and started swimming.  It was pointed out that at this stage my legs sink which is far from efficient.  When I enquired what should I do about it the response was "where do I start?"  Harsh but true and it just reminds me, as if I needed it, that there is a huge amount of work to do to improve my technique.  In short my lack of flexibility causes me all sorts of technical problems but with a bit of luck and help from my wife, the yoga will improve me.
Litre of chocolate milk and a banana and I feel brand new.  Looks like I'll make my 10k race after all on Wednesday. 
Finally Ali's team won the cup final on Sunday - despite being out with his injury he was presented with a medal which I thought was a nice touch.  On Wednesday night they have their final league match and if they win it they will have won the league two years running.  His fitness training starts tomorrow with me and I can't wait to get him in the pool!
