02.11.10 swim (two a day)

First two-a-day work out of the Tri season. I made myself finish my 6 mile tempo run even though my hamstrings were tight and tired. 3 hours later I'm proud to say I actually got in the pool. It was 40 some degrees and steam was rising off the water. I hurried into the water which was alot warmer than the air. After a 200 meter warm up we spent the rest of the 1 hour and 15 minute class swimming drills. I believe I swallowed less water this swim. Not sure of the distance because I was more focused on my technique. At the end of our swim Emmy had us swim 50 meters of each swimmer's favorite stroke. Of coarse T and Chris picked the most strenuous ones (arm pulls and one arms). Emmy had us do dolphins to the deepend, breast stroke to the end of the pool and lifeguards on the way back. I was officially done after that. I got out of the pool feeling a great sense of accomplishment. It was worth the goggle eyes.
