Back on the H2O

Yesterday I was back on the water for 10x500m. The sun was shining and the temperature was in the mid 40s so beautiful day for a workout. The intervals felt a lot better this week, I was focusing on a strong core and good leg drive. My times were slow but I feel I made progress on technique so eventually the speed will come. By focusing on core strength in the boat I realized how important it is to develop core stability off the water with physio ball workouts and balance drills, I knew this before but it really sunk in after this workout!

Snowing

Its snowing again in OKC, making training outside a little tricky. The snow comes at a good time though, my forearms decided to explode over the last few days tightening up so bad that paddling or lifting anything has become very difficult. Now I am up for a few days of cross training to try and get them to calm down so that I can get back to some quality time on the water.
