After a full season of triathlon, I have learned my strengths and weaknesses. I have adopted better swimming techniques, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

I have noticed that I often drift to my left in open water swim. To correct my imbalance, I have started swimming on one side (with the other arm out in the front breaking the water) as part of my drill-sets. I spent 45 minutes in the water correcting my form today.

Drills:

• Pull buoy: 3 x (3 x 50 yards), breathe every 3, 5, and 7 strokes with no rest between each round
• 1-arm freestyle: 5 x 150 yards, swim the last 50 yards
• 5 x 50 yards sprints

Total distance: 1450 yards
