Well, last night was my first night back swimming in a while due to work and illness. Overall it went better then I thought it would. Yay! :D It seems most of the lingering effects of my sinus/ear infection are gone. After 1300 yards of swimming I could start to feel stuff building up in my lungs and coughed a little, but I'm not sure how much of that was just from exertion.
Anyway... I've noticed that my right ankle hurts when I'm swimming now and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. At first I thought it was from biking before the swim, but I hadn't biked yesterday. There were a lot of people in the pool (not swimming laps) yesterday so I ended up doing about 1/2 of the swim breast-stroke to avoid them easier which is mainly when my ankle hurts.
Has anyone else had problems with this? Any ideas?
I figure I will try to stick to recovery-stroke instead of breast-stroke because I kick differently using that. I'll find out tomorrow if that helps or not. Recover-stroke has never been that smooth for me, but I'm sure with enough practice it will get better.
