Today I did a double workout. I ran on the Elliptical at the Kroc Center for 30 min at level 15. That is a hard workout for me right now. I burned 450 calories. Then I went back later in the day for another swim lesson from Laurin. There were a few lengths when I didn't feel that I was drowning for air. I think the tip that Gloria gave me about breathing technique was very helpful.
Tonight I met for the first time with my Tri Coach Chris Baker. Among the things he said that stood out were:
1) Strive for swim efficiency
2) Practice transition and cut out all the necessities
3) Set time goals not position goals as you never know who is going to show up on a given day.
4) Focus my workouts on my strengths and weaknesses not on others
5) A triathlon bike won't help you unless you are going more that 20mph and in a tuck most of the time. Buy a good road bike instead.
