candotri 007: one with the water - a podcast by candotri.com

* Cycled to aberdeen - check candotri.com for a video of that day
* New tires on zoom zoom* Running in five fingers with splayed toes
* Had to pull out of my A race* Doing more speedwork for running
* long run - holding heart rates* Are you comfortable around the water?
* Get out of your motorized thingy* Make water part of your triathlon lifestyle- closer to the water and nature by swimming in it
* Be safe while swimming in the open water* You are not scared of the water, you feel scared of the water
* Gravity is not a factor in swimming* In swimming, everything happens in slow motion
* You can do drills like working one leg because of lack of gravity and slow motion* Focus on your breathing because you are undistracted by gadgetry
* I put the garmin on deck to watch heart rate* Being stressed about the swim is really really bad thing
* Focus on efficiency - Use stroke counting* Total Immersion - Terry Laughlin
* Watch swimmers that are faster than you* Do you have imbalances in your muscle groups?
* Buy better goggles - leaking sucks - try Aquasphere* You aren't far from home
* Remember how I carried my bike in candotri 006? That doesn't happen in swimming.
