Things I learned on my first week of training

Week One down and I am Happy Sore.  Wednesday we had coached swimming and on Saturday,
we did a coached run/walk along the beach in Santa Monica.  I got a leg cramp from
swim (haven't even left the pool yet) and an arch cramp from the run (this when I got
home).  This is what I learned this week:

• DON'T FORGET BANANAS!
• Each inch of belly lost is equal to one inch of body that sinks due to lost buoyancy.
• Drool doesn't show at swim practice!
• Don't laugh at people who wear nose clips cause there will be a day you need them.
• Swim drills suck!
• Pool water ingested does not count as hydrating.
• The more layers your keep in the car, the happier and warmer you will be! :)
• Tights aren't geeky when you are warmer than the guy in running shorts jumping up & down.
• Keep smiling... even as you have to walk during a run.
• Cramps in your arch HURT!
• Naps are ssssooooooo nice now!
