believe it!

i swam 3 times in 2 days. yes people it is the truth. hard to fathom i know. but the mile in jordan sunday morning, masters monday morning (which was not fun or fast but came down to one stroke at a time after sunday's long day) and then again monday after work with a fun little group in another Jordan lake cove.

i've gotten this bug up my butt to really get something done with my swim. after seeing a slight improvement in FL, i really want to see some low digits at steelhead. partly motivated by a competitive edge, partly guilty for the amount of money we are spending to race another 70.3... but either way im trying my darnedest to get even a little bit better. maybe it wont even be my stroke but swimming in a straighter line or figuring out the whole "Finding feet" thing..

here is where we swam monday night. the water level is WAY up with all of the rain we had. last year this time there would have been about 15 more feet of beach here...

keep it up- seriously so weird but I am swimming better in races.....hmmmm maybe the frequency is helping?

Keep at it Kari - swimming seems to unfair at times but you will get faster and you will improve! Now, if you figure out how to draft effectively in races, can you please let me in on the secret?

YAY Steelhead!! I am so excited! Are you flying?

Woohoo! Good job. I dont know how to find feet either :)is it like riding where you have to switch off taking pulls? Likely not.
