Day 33 - First Swim Workout with Boston Performance Coaching

Holy SH!T!! So that is what a real swim workout is like!! The triathlon swimming clinic is taught by two certified instructors, one was an all american triathlete at BU and is now the strength and conditioning coach at BU, the other is a certified triathlon coach. I was a little nervous and anxious about the class because I've never swam competitively before, but all in all everything went pretty well! They worked us through a variety of drills - swimming with your fists closed (not easy), sighting for cones so you know where you are when you're swimming in open water, and swimming underwater for as long as you possibly can to build up your lung capacity. These are things I would never be doing on my own, so I'm psyched about the clinic and looking forward to next week.
