I've been taking advantage of the pool at my new gym to get back into swimming. Last night after work I got to try out the new goggles and swim suit I picked up the other day at Sports Basement. I'd only needed to replace my old goggles, but discovered the company which makes my favorite cycling shorts, Sugoi, also makes swim suits that are as perfect a fit for me as their cycling shorts.

Last week when I first got back into the pool, I was completely exhausted by what a few years ago I would have considered a warm up, but I felt a lot better after last night. More than anything my problem now is breathing. I haven't quite got the rhythm for when to take a breath and end up having to take one too many or one to few when I'm doing a flip turn.

I hope to be back to my old routine soon.
