I started training for the triathlon Mike and I are doing this summer.
I suck at swimming. Seriously, I am beyond remedial. We even had a swimming lesson and everything, but while Mike is already swimming lap after lap, I still can't even do ONE LENGTH. I never was very coordinated, so this whole *stick face in water, breathe out, turn head, swipe arm, take breath while moving other arm, and don't forget to kick feet* thing is just beyond me. I always end up (1) getting water in my mouth and then (2) trying to solve that problem by just not breathing anymore. Sigh.
On the up side, I like wearing a swimming cap! Schnazzy.
