Swim Start

While my running and biking have not improved one iota, although one person pointed out to me yesterday that my efforts still may have kept the levels from declining, I advanced my swim time trial by 2 laps, swimming 28 laps in 12 minutes. I felt great the whole time...the swim is really the only part of the triathlon where I actually feel that I can compete. I'm hopeful that I might be able to beat my swim from last year's Wildflower (27:34).

After the time trial, we did a simulation of a triathlon race start. It was good fun, bringing out our latent aggressive tendencies. There was kicking, dunking, and I even got tickled. I'd like to know which triathlon the tickling is going to prepare me for.
