6pm. Overcast. Lake Chaparral smooth and cool.
Got HR up a tad with breathing and a few calisthenics. Started slow, breathing every other stroke.
Within 200-300 meters I was in sync, bilateral breathing, sighting rhythmically. What a difference from my first open water swim. It was fantastic. I turned the corner and swam approx 400m straight, fast, bilateral breathing the whole way. Sighting every 4th breath.
Getting out of the water is somewhat disorientating. Need to keep this slow. No speed records here.
Also, must start slow! Don't rush the bilateral pattern (but don't delay it either or the breathing patterns raises HR too high).
Bring it on, baby. I'm ready.
