TLog: swim and mileage update

As 2008 draws to a close, it is only fitting that my last post is an update on my nemesis - freestyle swim.

Did 22 laps today (1.1 km), and felt that some progress had been made in the past month. Able to breathe every three strokes, paddle continuously for 4 laps and took 23 to 24 strokes per 25m. Still has a problem of sinking if I am not careful, but I can now feel if I am not in the correct position. The gym workouts help with the last flip motion with the arms and hands.

Will have to work on increasing my distance and continuous swim.

In terms of mileage, I covered slightly more than last year's - 2400 km. Over 900 km on the bike and 19 km in the pool.
