Something is right in the universe. I had an amazing ride last night (even before I started the jumps) and today my swim was stellar. I started my afternoon by heading out to Hilltop Stables to pick up my shoes that I forgot there (yes, Cinderella forgot his shoes again). It wouldn't have a big deal, but my new orthotics were in them and I wanted to have them for this weekend. Turned out that Joan Ranquet, an animal communicator (I wrote in December about her thoughts on Eli. Having been raised around zoo animals and been accused of being able to relate to them, I have a lot of faith in the communicators. Sounds weird I know, but it works. And I really think I could use the insight when I'm meeting my horse for the pentathlon (you ride an unfamiliar horse in the event...you get 20 minutes and 3 jumps before going onto the course). So, I think I'll take one of Joan's courses to see if I can get some value out of it.
Maybe it was the alignment of the planets, maybe shiva is looking fondly upon me, either way my swim this afternoon was awesome. I had a lot of energy through the whole session, but most importantly, I felt like my technique was back. My final push at the end of each stroke felt the strongest it ever has and I was able to get my number of strokes across the during the knee board section down to 15. I'm really pleased...and ready for Wendy to coach me into the next level.
