Shawn gave us two great workouts in a row (Tuesday and today). Yesterday was a bit of a sprint workout and today was open water training. This morning all the lane lines were out and he had made some buoys out of water polo balls. He gave us some great pointers on how to swim in open water. Don't be afraid of touching people or being touched. Only lift your head a little bit to sight your path. Avoid breathing in a wave. It was a lot of fun! Although I didn't really get to measure my yards, I am going to put down 2,000. It is amazing how much harder it it to swim open water style. There is a video on the Olympus Aquatics Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/olympusaquatics. And yes, I am the one in the front with the blue cap!
