Subject: Swim Breakthrough
I finally had my first OW swim where I swam freestyle! The lakes here in northern Louisiana are brown and the first two times I tried a freestyle swim, I freaked out at (the lack of) a sight picture and side stroked my way through. This time I just told myself to stop it, and I kept swimming. This is a breakthrough because I am doing a tri at the same lake on August 1st. I know I won't be a contender, but that doesn't matter; at least I know I will be able to complete the swim. I was also very surprised at how much easier it is to get into a nice rythm without having to stop and turn around every 25 yards. I'm ready to go back tomorrow and swim in again!
