Swim Training - Paul's first swim

This swim workout was interesting. I didn't swim any laps. I took Paul to his first swim! It was pretty cool. A day in history. Look out for Paul Darin Letzring in the 2028 Olympics! He prefers to chill on his back, but on his stomach he likes to cruise. So, I figure he'll be a freestyler, of course that's probably the most competitive stroke. Paul has been a subject of the past few posts, but this is indeed a blog about maxing out the Olympic triathlon at 20-60-40 splits....I'm still a newly proud Dad, so I can't help but put some posts about Paul......


In any case, here's proof of his first of many swim practices. He's 13 weeks old in this photo.




My workouts were pretty basic. I'm finding a rhythm for my workouts. Today I had flashbacks to the 8th grade....me and a few others stood outside the doors in the cold, dark morning waiting for the doors to the pool to open. Why is it that the swimmers are the ones who show up early, before the doors open? It seems that everyone else waits til about 6:10am to show up, certain the doors will be open when they get there. Anyway, I did 2x500, finishing on about 7:50 with 90 seconds rest. I had to skip a 500 because the doors opened late....my morning schedule is pretty tight with time, so if I start late I have to skip some laps. The weight lifting was pretty basic.
