I swam 1250 today by alternating lengths between front, breast, and back stroke. I would have done another 50 to make an even 1300 but my calves were starting to cramp a bit. I wonder why?
I have nothing other than mowing my lawn planned today. I want to go into my 5k fresh and rested tomorrow. I really hope I can break 33 minutes. If not...then not.

There's a real breast stroke kick? I don't know which one I'm doing...

Sisu
Sisu is a Finnish term that could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. The equivalent in English is "to have guts", and indeed, the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However, sisu has a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain the same. Depending on context, "sisu" can refer to spunk, attitude, self-confidence, and so on. However, sisu is not bravery, nor strength, and needs to be distinguished from courage, especially when talking about the military. In contrast, sisu is an ability to finish the task and get things done.
"The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena...who know the great enthusiams, the great devotions to a worthy cause; who at best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Good swim numbers, good luck tomorrow.
proper breast stroke is to bring the legs up, kick your ankles outwards, and follow trough with the legs, and bring togeather. Its hard to describe in words.
Congrats to your daughter for scoring the winning run
