It was a nice relaxing weekend after a first week back to training. Three days of lifting weights, which I've never done until now. Man, was I sore! I also got back in the pool after almost a month of being out of it, started it off with some crazy weird drills, thanks to QT2! Skate, zipper skate, sweet spot, golf, etc. The golf stroke requires you to count how many strokes it takes you to do in 50 meters plus your total time and that equals your score... voila, you have a swim stroke called golf. The less strokes you do plus the faster time you do, the better your score (the lower the better, just like golf). I managed to get faster on the four 50's I had to do, with less strokes each time, the last one ending on 34 strokes. It's tough enough remembering the names, and then having to remember how to do them and in the right order. The first day of doing those drills took us about an hour, just from stopping and looking at the paper where we had the descriptions written down. Tomorrow should be a bit faster. However, these drills are meant to be SLOW, and they are tough! It feels so good to be back in the water though, I've missed it. I even remembered how to do flip turns, wooweee! Did some nice rides on the bike trainer and sweated like a complete pig. The weather this weekend is looking like it will be super nice, nice enough for an outdoor ride--up at the beach!!
This past weekend I made some delicious ratatouille -- eggplant, and lots of other veggies in a tomato based sauce -- delic! Core diet to the max.
