The evening started with Fat Tuesday pancake dinner at the church. I thought I was being smart by not indulging in the pancakes and sausage. Instead I brought a bowl of curry chicken rice. Turns out that didn't process well either as I ended up with cramps during my first TNT swim practice. Note to self: eat something other than curried chicken and pancakes before practice. Coach Tom led our motley crew of five. He showed us a video of efficient swimming techniques before we took the plunge. Here was the workout: 2-100's; 1-200; 1-300; 1-200; 2-100's. Anyway, it was somewhere around 20+ laps. I did okay. I still need to build up endurance which led me to ask Coach Tom, "So Tom, will we be able to touch the bottom at Lake Oconee during our mile swim?" The answer was not encouraging. So I have my work cut out for me to be able to swim a mile on June 23rd! I do find however that I am enjoying training with a group and the cross-training. I like the variety. Jason put the kids to bed tonight. I find I am having to lean on him more in order to train. I am thankful that he is so supportive of my efforts. Off to bed...up at 5a.m. for spin class at 5:30a.m. Yet another new adventure awaits!
