I have a Monday swimming buddy...without him I am likely to slack on my Monday swim workouts. It's just that I am a good swimmer, so I feel like I can skip them. Even though I know I shouldn't. This is where DT comes in. We had a 45 minute swim today in a pool or a lake. DT sent me a message to meet him at Ohio St. Beach this morning. He brought with him his dad and a fellow athlete doing IMLOU. You can see from the picture above..choppy, cold and no sun. It was DT that got me going but I did end up encouraging him along. I would do a couple strokes practicing some technique like Coach Keith said and then flip on my back and swim backstroke until DT caught up. He was a trooper.. he was wearing his sleeveless suit! I didn't want anything to happen to him out there. Accidents can happen so easily when its cold and choppy. We finished and had a hard time getting our clothes on since we were so frozen. I came home and took a hot shower. Thanks DT for getting me out there! Another Monday swim in the Ironman deposit.
