Found it

Okay so I found something in my swim stroke this morning.  I was back to moving through the water at a decent pace.  It's just amazing at how the "catch" is so important that if you miss it you basically don't move forward.  So that's a positive and now I can just hope I don't lose it again.  Argh...swimming.  I am coming up on my one year swim anniversary.  It should be fun to give all my loyal blog readers all 2 of you some comparisons for your amusement.

Now onto Desoto Sports clothing and their customer support...so last week I mentioned that I sent back in my tri-shorts that they make.  The pad sewing had ripped so they said they'd repair it.  Perfect so at that time I ordered another pair of the tri-shorts and I also got a pair of their bib shorts.  My current bib shorts are way old and totally falling apart.  I've waited to buy a new pair of bib shorts becaues they always rip in the pad for me.  I figured since Desoto has such cool customer support that I'd drop the money on their bib shorts.  I wore the new bib shorts for a simple 90 minute ride and they actually felt quite comfortable.  Sweet!  I threw them in the wash with my other workout clothes.  I took them out and wouldn't you know their have stitching coming out in the pad again.  WTF!!  I called Desoto and they sent me a return invoice for them.  I just wanted to give a shout out for sweet customer support on their products.  Once I get these shorts back, I'll probably buy another pair post Ironman.

I'm going to start putting together my "lists" for packing and the entire Ironman event to help reduce my type "A" stress that will consume me.  Plus I'll try to give my cheering squad enough information so they can see me at various points during the race.

Oh yeah I apologize for the Blog sidebar as it seems there's a bug with blogger...

  1. next year you will know to set up a camcorder to tape your stroke so you can analyze it. all great athletes do it. That is how I was able to master the key shot to start winning Underwater Basket Weaving Championships instead of coming in third. I was able to catch the flaw in my underweave motion and correct it by breaking down the moves frame by frame.
