I just got my video of filming that I got done to get advice of my strokes. Of course, there were alot of things that I need to work. The main thing is that I was morified by how fat I looked. I am glad that I got the filming to get advice but it is hard to watch it because I look so fat.
Well, this is a good wake up call that I need to get back in shape and really get my training in gear because I really didn't do it this last 6 months. I would go three weeks without any dry land and could go weeks where I only swim three times a week.

I was working this morning with a tri athlete, he said had been working out following the book TI.
I observed him first, from the end of the pool, front and back, then from the side of the pool both sides. I was acting like a video camera. The only thing I liked about his stroke was his shoulder flexability. The rest not good. He was doing 20 strokes per length, was over kicking, doing catch up stroke and was really excited about how he had brought his stroke count down. He took for ever to complete a length.
He wanted to correct every thing in 30 minutes. I have a list of 21 errors in his stroke but there is more. I told him we would only work on one or two per workout. We worked on his crossover stroke, his finish and when his arms exited at the finish. Next time I go with him I will film him.
