Week 3: The First Mile

Date: 6/14/13
Yards: 1800
Strait #1 Progress: 3.6 of 9.7 miles
Time: 42 min.
Breathed: Bilaterally, every 3
Felt: Very encouraged. It was hard to keep pushing, but I went past the barrier I somehow set for myself over the past five years (25 laps). I was surprised to find I could have swum even farther!
Challenges: 
1) Hard to keep pushing. 
2) Still at 21-22 strokes. Used to be consistently at 18. Need to get stronger?
Fears: None!
Emotion: Elated. Especially at lap 30. Felt like I was bursting into flame ... in a good way.
Learned:
1) When out of breath and energy and "couldn't go on", switched to backstroke and not only kept going, but went pretty fast.
