Wow, I knew it was going to be tough but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. Last time I remember swimming was during the summer at the beach but nothing compared to the laps at the gym. I wouldn’t even really consider that I was doing laps. I forgot to ask how far the gym pool was but I did 5 full laps back and forth. I did a half lap and rested anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. I need to work on breathing and figure out if my technique is correct or not. For the first 4 laps I was only breathing on my right side while on the last lap I tried to do both sides. It felt a little weird to breathe on the left. I also should have waited a little bit to come out of the pool. When I got out of the pool, I got dizzy from getting out too fast and maybe as I pulled myself out I had my head below me heart. I then went to the locker room to towel off.  After that I did go cycling for 25 minutes. I guess I am on my way to doing the triathlon.
