Okay, so today I spent time putting together a detailed training schedule for the next six weeks. This schedule will be focused on my swimming technique, but will get me started on endurance training as well. I also spent time watching very good swimming videos that gave tips on getting the right techniques. I'll be watching them over and over and over again. Coach Rich will be doing the same. :)
I will also be doing a running, swimming, and cycling test these first three weeks to compare to a fitness scorecard. I'll be doing this testing about every 4 weeks to see my progress--well at least I should see progress.
Here are my short term goals at this time:
1. Establish proper swimming technique by August 28th.
2. Swim continuous 200 meters by September 18th.
3. Run a 5K in less than 30 minutes by September 25th.
I think these are pretty realistic and I may achieve them before the dates.
I'm ready to start tomorrow and I am ready to tackle swimming!!!
