I had a great swim last night! All the work we did at the Swim Analysis last weekend really seemed to help. I felt much better in the water and much stronger (and faster!). I could really tell when I would lose my form and the difference. Did a total of 2,520 yards (1.43 miles!) and of that 1,600 was almost consecutive (.90 mi). Coach Megan even told me how much better I looked in the water. What a great workout.
Anyways, apparently we get our video's of us swimming in the water from the clinic. I'll post when I do.

Solid weekend
Had a great weekend of training! Finally got out for a bike ride =) It was a gorgeous day. Unfortunately, they cancelled team workout bc it was supposed to rain, but it didn't and was perfect weather! I did about 12.5 miles, which I am really happy about. It was also my first time riding with traffic (scary!). Felt good on the bike - discovered I need to buy some gloves and sunglasses - its bright out there!
Then I had my swim analysis in the afternoon. It was really helpful. My main problem is in my pull - everything else is good (body position, kick, etc). I'm going to go for a swim tonight and work on everything.
I also went to the Running Company and Spencer helped me find some shoes. Going to go for a run on the treadmill tonight before my swim to test them out.
Yesterday, was, unfortunately, not as nice, but I still went out for a run. Got about 11.3 miles in (which is actually farther then I thought I had run, so that's good!).
All in all, a good weekend!

Swim Analysis
This weekend I am doing an underwater swim analysis with the Terrier's. They videotape you swimming underwater and then can correct things that are wrong, either body placement, stroke, etc. I am very excited about this!
In addition to that, I have a very busy weekend! Going to go for a ride - hoping tomorrow morning, but its supposed to be raining, so if so, I'll go on Sunday. Swim analysis on Sat. afternoon, and a long run on Sunday. I am also planning on stopping by the Running Company and having Coach Spencer help me find some shoes. The Mizuno's I bought in January just aren't really working anymore for me.
