I used TI to completely rework my stroke. When I started, I swam with my head above the water (that's what I learned in a lifesaving class 40 years ago) and would be out of breath after 25 meters. My progress was slow, but I will also admit that I did not spend much time doing the drills. I'm now able to do 1500 meters continuous and am starting to feel much more relaxed in the water. (I only wish I felt this way on Aug 23 when I did my first triathlon). I suggest you get the "Feestyle Made Easy" DVD. If you can work it out, it is probably best to take the TI class and/or find a TI instructor to work with. Dan DAN. thanks so much for the feedback....of the three tri sports, ive found swimming to be the most minute in incremental progress, so i hear ya on the slow progress. but to go from an out of breath 25 meters to continuous 1500 thats INCREDIBLE progress. relaxation in the water from everything i read is super duper key..... thanks for the recommend on the DVD, especially the title of a specific one to choose. theres just so many swim videos out there, i didnt want to waste my money... and id love love love to take a TI class or find an instructor...unfortunately neither are in my area.....yet. again, thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it! stacieb |

| Elite 4201 washington state | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge Hi everyone, I just signed up for the challenge. Proud to be a Fighting Okra! But sure hope I don't have to eat any. This is actually just my first month of training. I am still walking mostly but have started some intervals of running (probably more jogging! LOL). In November & December there are three 5k in our town. I would like to do at least one of them and run the whole way. I am following the "couch to 5k" plan so I should make it. I am also adding in bike rides, either stationary or my old trusty bike, on some of the "off" days. When it comes time to really start riding for the tri training, I will have to something about a better bike. I also work at the YMCA so I will be able to use the pool when I add in the swimming laps -- probably next month. Love this site! Dee SW Washington |

| Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge Woke up to sound of rain this morning! Blahhh. Had a long ride planned (any length would be good!) I am eating my breakfast right now and then will see what's up in a bit. Don't mind riding in the rain too much, but don't like hard rain. |

| Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge I got a session done on my bike this morning! It sprinkled a little on me but not bad enough to curse forgetting my jacket. I did, however, curse forgetting my shades. I took a bug to the eyeball. That'll teach me. |
