Still getting over my cold and saddle sores.  Went swimming and tried out my new pull boay.  I also swam a 800 m in 15:30, but i had to switch to two stroke breathing quite a bit.  Did drills afterwards.

For the first time I swam a 800 M with breathing every three strokes.  I focused on breathing out before I took my breath and that helped. I tried to stay relaxed.  My time was not too bad. 15:40. 

I spun for 30 min on my trainer.

New PR today on the swim.  I swam a 15:23 for the 800m.  My previous was 15:25 in October.  I have worked on breathing on both sides since then so my times have been lousy, but I know if I work on the right technique, then I will get faster than I would have.

Did 45 min on the bike on the indoor trainer.  Did not use a lot of tension since I was watching my knee.

Ran a easy 10K at 8:30 miles.  Felt pretty good.  My knee was hurting a bit afterwards.  I am not sure what kind of knee pain it is.  It started several months ago on the bike before I had it fit right.

Did some strength training on first thing this morning. and then spun real light for 36 min.  I am focusing on getting a smooth pedal stroke.

I went swimming afterwards with my brother from California.  He did pretty good, but does not have any endurance.  I did some form intervals and went from  a 53 sec 50 m to a 49 sec. just my focusing on form. 

My knee did not hurt at all today
