Am i moving forward? I wonder as i started my swim this morning. Somehow it seems that i am crawling.

For the first set of 200 meters, i feel my hamstrings are slightly tight on the breast stroke. Thighs are tight on the free style. It seems i have slow to a crawl, struggling to reach the end of the pool.

I have a pimple on my right eyebrows yesterday. It get bigger as times goes on. I was feeling bad about this, as i remember last time i have this "lump" there, i have a hard time in the pool. Not because it affect my swim stroke, breathing. It affected my goggle! Water slip in as i swim, and i have my contact lens on. It is annoying and irritating to say the very least. I was abit "down" even thinking about what will happen in today swim! Will i be so piss off that i just nua at the pool side! Will i just leave the pool early for a sinful breakfast(that is not a bad idea!).

To counter this matter, i brought along my new goggle at a recent warehouse sales. Until i took out from the box(shrink wrap still) that i realise the rational for choosing this. 1) This is blue colour, 2) it is very small. I have been using "transparent" goggle for a long time, because i want to see colour in its pure stage(not tainted with the colour of the goggle), The last good goggle i have is a blue colour, maybe i am more "fated" with blue. The other reason is that the last few goggle i have deliberately choose bigger frame as i feel i have wider angle for view. When thing don't work, at times you have to try the exact opposite. Therefore i choose a very small frame.

It was the right choice in this morning. The frame is so small it didn't cover the eyebrow...so it didn't cause water slippage! Hehe.

I don't feel comfortable on the swim, so i abandon. I switch to breast stroke and slowly move on. I get more relax, breathing get more smoother. Slow and steady i completed 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters and finally 2000 meters.

Along the way i look at my watch to see how "slow" i progress for every 500 meters. I think i am pretty consistence in my pacing.

I still think that my breast stroke and free style timing is on par. Just got to slow my stroke for free is so inefficient! Sigh.......

I really ought to get new swim trunk very soon! One day i won't be surprise i swim naked without even knowing it! *shy*

It was a challenging session at MF this evening. Giving my current conditional it will be interesting to see how i cope with it.

I took it easy and survive. I do feel there are some more "petrol" in the tank after the session....:P
