Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) wplummer - 2009-07-09 2:03 PM i think after my race on sunday i will take a week or two off from running to see if it improves. if not i may have to go see my ortho doc again, and he will not be especially happy to see me again. so any wisdom on an ows? i know that by making it out of the water i will be able to finish the race. i just dont want to panic in the water. just swim a nice relaxed ows with my wave. thanks. Start to the back and to the outside of the group. That way as people surge forward you won't get pummelled. Take it nice and slow and remember to BREATHE. If you start to panic, SLOW DOWN, switch to breast stroke until you can go back to freestyle. Don't forget to sight - even if that means you have to breastroke to do it. Just take your time and try to find a nice easy rhythm. I am around all weekend and check my email a lot so if you think of something between now and Sunday that you are panicky about, just PM me I'll be here tomorrow as well. |
