"Breathe Through I tell you"

Okay, after two years of swimming I finally had a breakthrough in my swimming. For the longest time I have been struggling to figure why my breathing has been so labored when I swim..So I finally asked my swim coach how to "Breathe"...

Breathe in the mouth and exhale out the nose...Interesting concept I thought..Never tried that before, all this time a pure mouth breather...

Went to the pool on Friday to test this theory out..Low and behold I was able to do 2050 yards without feeling tired or have this feeling of trying to catch my breathe all that time..mann what a miracle, somebody should have told me this before....

Positive note, it has been a crappy health week...Training week was fine..long story...

I know 2050 yards is not a lot, especially training for an Ironman..But now I think I can starting doing those 3000+ yards swim session without feeling like I need oxygen...I guess not everything is written in those swim books..Score one for the coach..
