Tri Swim Training

It's 12 days till my first open water tri. So far training has been good, but very intense. The heat here in the south is starting to kick in and my asthma is starting not to enjoy my extended outdoor workouts. The humidity and pollen in the air is making it a bit hard to breath at times. Today was a brick day and gratefully half of my brick was indoors. I jumped back into the pool today after a two week hiatus.  The gym has been closed for renovations so running has really been my go to over the past couple weeks. Swimming is a workout I always look forward to.  No head phones, no workout partner talking, just me, the water, and my breathing. I have to say after only 500 meters my arms were tired. Missing 6 swim sessions really hurt me. I'm sure after another couple swim workout I'll be back up to par. It just goes to show you that use or loose it really applies. I also got a quick 20 minute spin in. It's really important when tri training to brick your workouts so that your body gets use to the transition.
