wetsuit fail
We went to a beach today on Lake Winnipisaukee and I decided to take my wetsuit to try out. I haven’t swim in a wetsuit ever and I haven’t done an open water swim in more than a year and half.
Once I started swimming, the 58 degree water started seeping into my suit. Not sure if that is normal. Because of the water temps and foggy goggles, I had a difficult time relaxing and getting into a groove. My breathing was too erratic. I probably spent 15 minutes “swimming” and called it a day.
The good news is that the suit felt fine and it definately helps you to stay in a good position. I just need to get comfortable again in open water.
Any tips?

THE ELASTIC BAND WALK
Performing this workout, 3 steps each side, until failure can strengthen your hip flexors and abductor muscles resulting in less impact in your hips during the striking phase of the run. You can purchase these bands online, or at your local sports store and save yourself some pain and recovery time in the future. I’ve definitely felt a lot lighter on my feet and less impact on my knees since doing so. Give it a try!

This is some of the science behind the ‘moving every 20 minutes idea’ that I posted yesterday.
