13Great Weekend to Be Outside!
Posted by Kevin Doak on Monday at: 4:32am (July 13th, 2009)
On Saturday I worked around a busy schedule to spend an hour in the outdoor Fuller Pool. Although I only got 3,000 meters in (due to socializing with old friends), I felt it was important to keep my feel for the water rather than taking the weekend off.
Today was an amazing day outside as well. I woke up, swam 3,000 meters at Fuller again. I'm taking a renewed interest in kicking. After my experience at World Champ Trials it gave me quite the wakeup call that I may be underworking my legs recently. During my 100 backstroke race, I felt like my arms were strong enough to get me through the race but my core and legs failed me. I kicked 1/2 of my practice on both yesterday and today. After swimming I headed to a local metropark to rollerblade 9 miles. I finished the evening off with lots of food and a 1.5 hour session of Yoga!
