Day 12

Ahh nothing like an Inglorious Bastards/Twilight meme.

But I digress...

Day 12 was my last open water swim before the Steelman next weekend. It was my best (and longest without a break) swim to date. We started off with a 250 yard loop and took a quick break and then did a 500 yard loop. I did much better this time with sighting where I was going. In open water there is no line to look at like there is at the bottom of a pool so the only way you can see where you're going is to actually look up. That took some practice but after 2 days at the pool I was much better this time around.

Swimming in open water does take some mental focus because it can get kind of boring especially since there isn't anything to look at to distract you. I'm glad I had these open water practice swims because I can't imagine having the Steelman be the first time I was in open water.

9 more days until the big day!

Tomorrow's workout is going to be moving all of my stuff out of my apartment and into my new one. Should be a good workout too considering I'm moving from a third floor apartment to a second floor apartment in a different building.
