Week 9: Smooth Sailing

Date: 7/24/13

Yards: 1500

Strait #1 Progress: 8.8 of 9.7 miles

Time: 44 min.
Stroke count: 17-18

Felt: Wonderful. So proud to be on the second endurance workout.  And I had the ability to do it well!

Challenges: At first, didn't know whether I would be able to do a continuous 800.  But I just focused on going slowly, gliding, and breathing every fourth stroke.  I started feeling almost hypnotized.  Before I knew it, I had finished the 16 laps of the main set.  Did backstroke on the last four laps, which worked out a minor cramp in my left neck/shoulder.
Fears: None.
Emotion: Happy!
Learned:
1) I need to go back to the chiropractor. I haven't been in 3 weeks.
