It's NICE when the motivation kicks in.

It's getting easier to get motivated to swim. After all It's been 23 degrees Celcius at 7am in the morning all week. I've been to the pool three days this week.

I've signed up for the tri now so I MUST train!

I did 7 laps freestyle yesturday then 1 lap backstroke to cool down (backstroke was ALWAYS my strongest stroke, even when I was a kid)

This was after a 15km FAST ride to the pool.


My problem is I need to learn to pace myself. I did 100m then CARKED IT... totally out of energy... So I the rest of the laps were 50m blocks... ;_;

Last time I trained I did 175 without stopping.

What can I do to slow myself down so I can do 300m without stopping at all?

meanwhile... I finally got myself a new pair of runners... (BFs been bugging me for a while) So I have NO escuse not to go for a jog! ***eeep** running scares me.
