Feel Good or Not

Yes, no, I don't know.  Just swim.  I found another Open Water Swim for the weekend.  This one is special as it benefits The Challenged Athletes Foundation, specifically John Coughlin, the swimmer injured during last seasons Maui Channel Swim.  It is the Board Shorts 1 Mile Open Water Swim. We will be swimming at Hermosa Beach.  We are all being issued board shorts that we will be required to wear while swimming.

As I try to straighten out my left hand entry to the catch of freestyle, I think the whole arm needs to be retrained.  I could feel fatigue and muscle soreness as I need to set the muscles at a slightly different angle at the catch.  This is causing my elbow to drop a bit.  Going to look up which way internal rotation is for my arms...nope, it appears that I am just lazy and I need to think more.
