Wet Suit Arrived!

It was Christmas in April today. My new wet suit arrived and it fits like a glove! I tried it out and I immediately remembered how much I dislike the constricted feeling around my neck. As before, I need to get into the lake and get accustomed to the feel and try to get somewhat comfortable with breathing. I'm thinking about 4 or 5 swims will do it - increasing distance with each swim. The first time trying out a triathlon wet suit, I nearly panicked and only swam about 50 yards. It does take some getting use to, so give it a shot first chance you get. Also, avoid chlorinated water.

Tomorrow, or soon, I'll discuss consistency and routines. The other night, Julia brought up the importance of not changing anything on race day. More to come on that.

Any action images to post?

Hows the training coming? Be consistent.
