I switched to the earlier swim class last night and wound up being the only person in attendance... That made for a great 1 hour private lesson, which is a rare occurance at our age without forking over some serious dough. My area of concern is still body position, and this is largely due to weaker abdominals and core... Ah, the same old story. It's amazing, when one puts the effort in, at how much more fluid-dynamic you can make yourself when you focus on this. Of course, like anything, when you're not used to it it is hard for the position and effort to become habit.
But that's what we're working on.. Habits. Habits are the key to success in triathlon. The technique I build into habit will make it effortless and carry me through when I am focusing on other things, like nutrition and game plan. So, in all of this, if the technique is not made into a habit, it will always be a struggle. And the best way to make it a habit is to help create the "body" that is required to allow the habits to occur... For instance, increasing flexibility and muscular endurance, so that I have the mobility necessary to hold the technique.
