IRONMAN Training 3.8km SWIM

Although long boring swims are discouraged for improving your swim, I felt I had to do the IRONMAN swim distance at some point before the race.

So, yesterday, I paid my RM8 for a swim at The CLUB. (my normal external(not my condo's pool) pool).

Happy to say, I made it. 1 hr 17mins. This will be the final long swim before the race. I'll now concentrate on strength and swim technique. Having done an intensive bike over lunch(5 hrs before), I hope the near cramps in my calfs were because of the residual fatigue and not the swim itself.

I think I can improve my swim technique especially the kick. - Those 12 year olds in training at the pool(in their own private area) are kicking my ass! and i think its because they have better kick technique. de ja vu from highschool!

Maybe some coaching will do me good.
