Swim Swim Swim

I have done a fair bit of swimming (more swimming than blogging anyway) some of it I will cover in separate blogs but generally I have been in the pool say twice a week, swimming at least a mile.

In the sea today with James H who I think has done some coaching. He noted some improvement from last year (last time we swam together) BUT said:

  • Still not reaching far enough/ gliding with the stroke
  • Should try and rotate body to get the extra propulsion (easier in wetsuit?)

(He did also say that I should not try and change anything before 8 August...)

He also felt that I should not use gloves for Norseman if I had not practised in them - something to do with stroke action. I think I will buy pair to take with but only wear if water freezing (c 16 degree at the moment per Norseman website)
