It's July, and I am running out of training time for this upcoming tri.  

Got back in the pool this morning, and did 900.  Timing my strokes, I found that the breath stroke is by far my fastest stroke.  I would also feel comfortable sighting with this stroke-as trying to close my eyes while under water and sighting while breathing with the freestyle, I quickly found the lane barriers.  Yet, I am not sure how tired that would leave my legs for the bike and run portions of the race.  

The tri is on July 28th.  Am I out of time to quicken my freestyle stroke?  Any suggestions for sighting?

After the short swim this morning, I threw on a pair of short and my shoes (without socks this morning) and ran to the golf course.  I was hoping to see my husband on the putting greens, but I must have just missed him. Oh well.  

After the drive to SD, my husband and I got out of the car and got on the bikes.  My husband rode the mountain bike my parents have been working to fix, and I brought my road bike.  My poor husband, trying to keep up on the mountain bike. He got a good workout, while I enjoyed the easier pace and conversation today.
