Swimming

I've decided I'm going to focus on my breast stroke for the September tri. Sure freestyle is faster, but I've got too far to go and not enough time. There's no way I can get my breathing in good enough shape to have time to work on my stroke and my endurance. My breast stroke is decent enough that I can actually start doing laps and building up my distance.

Last night I had a fantastically optimistic dream. I was practicing the breast stroke in a slow moving river, heading downstream. It felt lovely, like I could swim forever, gliding through the water, letting the current help me.
