BRICKS.
I had my first experience on doing some brick workouts today. This is what I love about trying out a new sport- everything happens to be my first! Had my first open water swim a few weeks ago, now this. And to think of it, I've...
My First Ever Open Water Swim
The organizers of the upcoming Tri-Factor race organized an open water swim clinic last Sunday at East Coast Park, which was thankfully cleaned up after an oil spill a few days before that. I was pretty excited for it and scared sh*t at the same time....
