Yea... I'm hurtin'

All those weights and dryland yesterday tore me up pretty good.  Add in 4 hours of swimming and it's left me pretty sore.  I'm glad to have a day off.  I'm actually going to do an ab workout today.  Believe it or not, after all that working out, my abs aren't sore at all.  Yesterday was a frustrating day.  I'm realizing how tough it is to entrust all my training to a coach when I have different views on training.  I know there is no right or wrong way to train, everybody has different theories on training.  What I'm struggling with is that I KNOW that a certain regiment of weights, abs and burst swimming works really well for me.  I'm stressing out a little about the fact that we seem to be pretty far from what I'm used to.  The result can only be positive, in the sense that, no matter who is training me, this much training can only improve my times versus what I was doing while training alone in community pools.  What keeps running through my mind is: will all this new training make me better, or A LOT better?  I think a level of uncertainty is normal when you join a new team and have a new coach.  I'm learning quite a bit about training regardless of the outcome.
