Training Week in Review

I think I pushed it a bit this week. Started feeling under the weather by the middle of the week. It started with a little bit of a sore throat and then into a runny nose. Luckily that's all. I had read that as long as it remained above the neck, I could continue to train. It's when it starts affecting the chest, you need to back off and rest.

I looked up some videos on proper swim technique, specifically on the catch and pull through since it seems I was not doing it properly.  I used the next 2 swim days to practice this technique. Seems like it's working, but it really tires my arms out. I guess that means I'm doing it right. I'll post the video in a couple days and go over in more detail.

My weight remains at 149 pounds, but it dipped to 148 and even 147 once. Since I wasn't feeling well, I made sure to eat a bit more. You're supposed to feed a cold, right?
