Days left till NYC Triathlon: 12
Activity: Swim Group Training Session
Today we did a lot of drills at the Swim GTS. Starting with a 400m warm up we transitioned into the following:
- right hand arm drill: you lift your arm till it is straight up, bend it and then enter the water; while the arm is straight and horizontal to the water.
- sculling with arms in front
- pulling: you have a person hold your ankles while you swim pulling them across
- drafting: this drill is the best of them all; you swim just behind someone else so that you are swimming in their stream of bubbles - this helps you cut the water and go much faster and is easier.
We did 50m of the above drills interspersed with 200m of regular free style. After the drills we swam the snake swim for a good 20 minutes. I was so hot by the end of it - I couldn't wait to get out of the pool and take my wetsuit off. This was the second last swim session, one more next week and then I am done with my trips to Brooklyn on Mondays!
