Started my day with a swim. Its still pretty obvious my cardio/endurance is not up to par, but that will come back in time. I was surprised that my mucles tired out pretty quickly, I guess it shows that its been way too long since I swam last. I did an 8 lap warm up, 4 lap with hand paddle and knee board, 4 just arms and knee board and then 4 laps kicking. Not much, but I wsa still pretty tired. I've got a long way to go here.
I rode Pet again at riding tonight, he actually seemed pleased to see me. I had ridden Eli the previous week and I guess it had been a while since anyone had ridden Pet. I didn't have my helmet with me, so didn't do any mini-jumping or obstacles. Spend a lot of time working on leg yields, especially ina drill where I basically asked for leg yields into a smaller and smaller circle, then the opposite coming back out of the circles...basically spiralling in and out. A great excercise and it allowed me to really work on keeping my heels down during the leg yield. Laura's pretty pleased with my heels, I guess the polo really worked for me. I did a little canter with Pet towards the end to work on keeping my heels down during the canter. These canters didn't feel as good as previous attempts, but I did make some improvement on keeping him at canter and keeping my heels down.
