I figured it would be smart if I tried on the wetsuit, and swam in it before Saturday. I put my trisuit on first and then put the wetsuit on at home, in the kitchen. I followed the tips from the You tube video that was on the site. I didn’ take me too long to get it on, but I definitely need the help from Steven. I took it off, and changed into just a suit so I could try the wet suit out at the Fit Club pool. I got the suit on faster the second time. Steven got me some body glide, it helped slide the suit over my ankles.
I jumped in the water, and it felt weird. I know what Dan means about feeling like a “turd”. I started swimming, and i felt like a dolphin sliding through the water. After about 400 yards my arms were tired, especially my triceps. I guess its the extra effort required to move in the suit. I hopped out of the water and tried to take the suit off quick. My arms got stuck above the elbow, frustrating. I finally got it off. I’m glad I got to practice. I think I’m ready for Saturday, as long as I don’t panic and need someone to pull the suit off me.
After work I went for a 4mile run. My legs were tried from the track so I took it easy, then I went to 1730 ab attack. I haven’t been to this class in a while, and my abs could tell.
