Hi I'm MD. A forty something triathlete who just thought you might be interested in my thoughts on training for the mature triathlete. I am no elite athlete, I am just a trier who still wants to improve as he gets older.

Swimming like Ian Thorpe

After watching Ian Thorpe swim during the Australian titles yesterday i decided that during my swimming training today I would visualise myself swimming like "Thorpy".

In my mind I am sure I looked exactly like him but unfortunately my times failed to measure upto his. I guess this means that 1 of 2 things may have happened. I either wasnt swimming like Thorpey or there is another factor other than visualisation that is needed to swim quickly. I suppose I will have to come up with some other method of improving my times.

Training today consisted of swimming only with drills for 15 minutes followed by 5x200m then 5x100m
