...just barely. And I worked hard for it. I found some sort of glide in my stroke a week or two ago, and it shaves time off. The downside is that when I start to get tired, my form slips. The downerside of that is that it actually takes more out of me to swim without the glide. I know my strokes are too long and slow right now, but I feel like I can get faster now that my form is better. I think I will take a swim lesson or two before the half. But my swim yesterday was very relaxing and enjoyable. I was well rested from NOT training for the 3 days prior, so that helps. I blew off a long ride Sunday. And Monday and Tuesday, I was swamped with work. I'm a little frustrated with myself for not trying harder to get out on Sunday. And for not working on reports over the weekend. Not following through with a daily/weekly plan is probably my Achilles. I will do better this weekend.
Diet...mine has its flaws. I think it's time to follow a plan instead of winging it. When I wing it, I do well in the AM and then am starving before bed. I need to have a plan that makes it so I don't feel so hungry at night. Will investigate and report back.
