Swimming

I'm still training lol its been one week since I started, so it is a good start! I went swimming straight after work today, we did half an hour and I worked on my arm technique plus speed - so I went 1 lenth with just my arms and one length norrmal swim - the last length I did legs only.

My theory for this (which might be a load of rubbish!) is I want to do the swim with as much arm stregth as possible there by saving the majority of my leg strength for the cycle and the run. I don't know if this is going to work but I can hope!

I am hoping my body stops aching at some point but then if it isn't I haven't done a hard enough work out! lol also probably a bad philosphy but it gets me working!

I am still working on getting a bike - I may not be able to get one until after christmas - but I can practice in the gym at least. Tommorow is my gym induction which means I can go without having to go with alex. The good thing is I have been itching to go and do some more work, which has got to be promising, I'm starting to really enjoy the fitness.
