The Little Things

This will be my last blog for awhile as we have a crazy week this week: I have two away games, my son's birthday is today, I have duty tonight and Wed (after both away games), my son is playing trumpet at the Trenton Thunder game on Thursday, my inlaws will be in town, my wife will be out of town for a few days at a memorial service up in Maine, and there is more but it is tiring even writing it down.

So, the little things: Did a nice ride yesterday, and though I went too hard on the way back, and I was sore last night, today I feel good, so that is great news. Did a 500yd tt in the pool this morning to break things up, and I finished at 8.30. Nothing special and I did not sprint the last 200 yds. But, then I had one of the coaches watch my rotation (which I have been working on) and she noticed I was dropping my head too far back when breathing (a tri habit to get clear air, no doubt). When I adjusted my head so that it rotated on its axis, my times went down, my stroke got cleaner, and my kick improved. Something to remember on Wednesday when I do my next session.

More to follow early next week...
