Reflections on front crawl

I didn't know practicing the front crawl was so hard. I was trying it out with Leslie but try as I might, my body just cant coordinate and it moves really slow. And to think that Leslie's normal front crawl is on par with my normal breast stroke, but my normal front crawl is at least twice as slow as Leslie's breast stroke. We swim the same speed with breast stroke. Sigh...

Went running on Friday with my class boys, 2.4km. After which, in the evening I ran again, this time with the official NAPFA testees. I tried using a new strategy, by running really fast at the first lap, just like Leslie did, but i 'burnt out' after the 3rd lap. It was really exhausting trying to carry on the 5th lap, and I stopped just before running the final lap. My endurance really has dropped.

Will be trying to improve my breast stroke timing so as to successfully pass the swim trial on the 5th of December, which, I just realised, is just 5 days away!

Jiayou everyone!
