Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for everyone who has donated! I am SO close in meeting my recommitment deadline! I only need $300 more and I will be recommitted for TNT!
This past week was a great week! I got to attend the group swim session which was awesome but it scared me a little bit. I didn't realize how much work I still had to do on my swimming technique. Couch Justin was a huge help and really focused on helping me swim smoothly and breathe easier. This week we get tested for our open water swim and we must swim 400 meters without stopping. So I have been practicing and practicing to make sure I meet this pivotal deadline. So far, I have done well and finish around 11 mins. (4oo meters =8 laps). I am worried about Liz, because she can barely float! hahaha! Just kidding, she has been working hard all weekend and this week to make sure she passes the swim review.
I was telling Armando yesterday that I psyche myself out before I swim and instead of thinking, "great! only 5 laps to go!" I think to myself, "damn, I still have 5 laps to go, boo!" It's difficult to overcome that mentality but I need to because that is the type of thinking that stops you from pushing yourself forward. I've decided that when I start to think like that, I think of my aunts. And then I push on through or I push harder, determined to finish my drills or run.
This training is moving quickly and I am surprised at how fast we are moving along. I am a bit frustrated as I have yet to hear back from corporate sponsors and I am also frustrated because we have been unable to find a venue for a bar party. But, I'll stay optimistic and I know I will find one soon.
As a funny side note, the blizzard that hit Denver on Friday didn't stop Liz and I from going to the pool to train. It was hilarious walking around with our swim fins in blizzard conditions. I am sure people thought we were crazy.
Thank you to everyone who stepped up to help me meet my recommitment fee, to all my families and friends thank you! These are the folks who are helping make a difference in the lives of so many people.
Besos and I will tell you how I do on SWIM Review! :)
