If it doesn't sink

By just hanging it there, i am not surprise there is alot of things we can accomplish.

By now, we should know better. There isn't a distance that is too far that we can't reached. Given sufficient training and some luck, most if not all can be accomplish in matter of timing.

This morning is the start of first swim training for the month of July. At the end of this month, there is a swim event. No more excuse. I have to be ready.

Decide to put in more effort on the front crawl this morning, compare to last week. It wasn't easy for what i have in mind. It is going to be painful...nope...more like it isn't going to be beautiful....*sinking and drinking in the water*...sometime that i deem as tough and even during the days i am fit, i couldn't dare try! Why am i doing it now? Insane!

The lane was cornered off by Alvin for his swim class in the middle of the pool! Damn it! All the while, it was like the side of the pool. Lane 1, now put it in lane 5-6! Sian.

After a 200 meters warm up with breast stroke, it is alternate 100 meters free with 100 meters breast until the end of 2.5km. It wasn't easy at first, but i get use to it at the end of the swim.

What so difficult about alternate strokes after 100 meters? The technique and breathing is different. After getting use to the stroke, you are force to change to another. In another word, you won't be able to establish a rhythm on the stroke and be always struggling to keep up. It is painful as it is going to be chuan. Is that something i am looking for? YES! I need this kind of feeling at this moment. I have been doing workout at such low intensity that i am too comfortable and the fitness is dropping again due to this comfort zone that i indulge.

I still remember a fellow IM kaki once tell me, you have to feel a bit of chuan in whatever you are doing workout. I was thinking then, how come i feeling comfortable most of the time? Chuan means putting in effort? Whereas relax means slacking! I know i have been slacking so many times, not just for the past few months, but ever since i started to run!

Now that my fitness have dwindle over time. It is time i have to do something to stop the flow. But pushing abit to go against the current flow. Life should be like that isn't? If you don't improve, you get oust by the society.

Complete the swim in 1:06hr. Not a fast timing, but enough to get all the engine fired up.

It is time to put in more effort on the swim. BSKL.
