Two days later, my legs are still a bit sore from Sunburst which I guess is to be expected. However, it didn’t keep me from starting my triathlon training – at least the swim training. I did my first swim workout from my training schedule and found that while I can swim a good distance in a piece, my fundamentals are still pretty weak. My first workout consisted of:
- 300yd warm down
- 8 x 25yd drill sets (finger tip drill, side kick drill, and catch up)
- 5 x 100yd intervals with 5 seconds rest
- 8 x 25yd kick sets (6 w/ kick board, 2 w/o)
- 300yd warm down
The warm up, warm down, and intervals went fine, however, I really need to spend time on the drills as it felt like I was drowning while I did them. I feel like I am doing the drills wrong, but maybe it just feels different. Either way, I put a copy of the Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy DVD on hold at the library, so hopefully that helps.
Hopefully my legs will be good enough to get a run in tomorrow so that I can make up for the lack of a run today, but if not, I am only scheduled to do a bike workout. I think that I should be able to handle the bike without a problem as it is really just the pounding of running that is too much for my legs.
On an unrelated note, here are some more pictures from Sunburst. Enjoy!
