I had a major breakthrough at the pool on Wednesday night. I finally made it for Angie’s swim class and I was so glad I went! Angie noticed that my wrist was really flapping around. As soon as I concentrated on keeping my wrist as straight as possible I could feel the change immediately in the water. I’m excited to try it again in the pool on Friday.

We finished the night off with a sprint drafting drill where we had to try to hang on to toes. It was a lot of fun. Considering I have swum on my own so much lately this made a great change of pace. Now that it is still fairly light out until almost 9 pm it feels a whole lot easier to get out to Cochrane that late at night.

I’ve been making Bob’s Red Mill Scottish oats for breakfast at work for the last several months. I like to add in half a banana to the mix before microwaving. One day last week I didn’t have a banana and my oatmeal exploded inside the microwave. Interesting….there is something about microwaving banana and oatmeal together that prevents an explosion… Of course the banana makes the oatmeal taste so much better, so it is really a win-win situation all around!
...sometimes with a little swimming and biking thrown in...
Yay for swim breakthroughs!! Way to go!
exploding oatmeal… now that’s funny 🙂
You made me crave oatmeal. Guess what is for breakfast tomorrow?!?
Great job on the swim breakthrough!
Funny about the oatmeal and banana. All the more reason to add it!
oatmeal explosions. no bueno.
Soooo awesome you got some great advice about your swimming — every single tip helps!!! 🙂 🙂
For the longest time I didn’t believe the swim drafting thing. It’s so counter intuitive. You’d think you’d swim better through calm water, than the turbulent water following someone. It’s always the little things in swimming. Yay for straight hands.
Exploding oatmeal – who knew? Hope it wasn’t too much of a mess to clean up. You didn’t just slink away from the microwave, did you? Did you?
Have you tried frozen blueberries in oatmeal? I just had it this week and it was so good because the blueberries started to melt in the oatmeal and provided a little bit of cold to contrast the hot oatmeal!
I think working out in a group just makes the workout more fun!
Happy for you and the swim breakthrough!
I used to love putting bananas, peanut butter, and honey in my oatmeal. Yumm!
Awesome job on the swim! It does make SO much difference with it being still partial daylight out when it’s time to hit the pool! Yay! We made it through the winter!
I have exploded many an oatmeal concotion in the microwave. Makes for a mess but always worth it! 🙂 Great news on the swim breakthrough!
Never realized oatmeal exploded. Good to know.
My oatmeal always explodes in the microwave. I’ll have to add the banana in first.
