Back in the Saddle

as they say.  Or in my case, back in the water.  Had a good LONG swim tonight it was also good-n-long.  Felt GREAT.  My times were pretty good for a 1850 Yard swim.  Time:  43:36  I've still got a LONG way to go before I feel I'm 'ready' for the 'big swim' but I know I could do it.  I know I'm only going to get better and faster over time.  One thing I noticed is that stroke count goes way up when I try to speed up.  That must mean that my strokes are less efficient- So I'm going to have to focus on keeping good form even while going faster.  All in time.  My best lap (50 Yards) was 1:09 -- I'm going to start tracking that and see how that improves.
