I seem to have a lot of posts this time of year about getting back in the pool after a break. Probably because swimming is suck a foreign sport for me, if I'm not there three times a week, I lose fitness rather quickly. Today was a good example. Since I've been sick, I didn't want to push too hard, but even if I wanted to, I don't think I could have. It just wasn't there today. Even worse, my form is slipping again. Even though I was really trying to get a nice long stroke, the coach still had to stop me and remind me twice to finish my stroke. And this wasn't during the hard efforts when I always shorten up, but during the long easy sets. That's not a good thing. I really need to work on scraping my thigh for the next week or so. I know it will help the speed, especially when I'm tired, but it's the first form breakdown when I'm tired. More concentration on the easy sets is needed. Time to slow down to speed up.

The Truth always finds a way to come out.
