A new year of training
Once my fractured rib healed in mid-January, I resumed training and participated in a swim gathering for triathletes last weekend here in Oslo. Facilitated by two (or three?) times Swedish champion in triathlon Ted Ås, Swedish ex-elite swimmer Torbjørn and finally Swedish swimming coach Henning Degermann, who has coached Sweden's Olympic swimmers, quality was highly professional. Additionally, with all coaches from Sweden, quite a few Swedes participated as well. So, in total 18 amateurs swam back and forth for no less than nine hours in less than two days! It's only now, one week later, that my left arm is starting to feel normal again. But however exhausting, the gathering was a big success--I don't immediately swim a lot faster, but now I know a few things I should work on. So when summer comes, I'll hopefully be fit to participate in a triathlon or two...
Update:
Sorry, but no pictures this time either. I do have a video of myself crawling, but don't see any reason to publish that... Admit that a decent picture of me with swimming, water splashing around, would be cool though.
