Well, we went, we ran, and we conquered! LOL Neither of us knew what we were in for with this class, but it ended up being pretty fun and something different to do on a Tuesday night. We started with choosing floatation belts to strap on (you'd think they'd stay around your waist, but they hike up under your boobs no matter what!) and then a bungee cord to strap through the back of the belt to attach on to the lane dividers so you can stay in place (or I thought they might strap under the crotch...ewww, no thanks!!!).
It took the first set of 7 minutes of running to get a good feel for the techinque you're supposed to use (more exagerrated movements than land running), but once you get in the groove it's not too bad. We did 7 sets of different speeds for different times for about 35-40 minutes.
The strangest (and most unexpected) things were: the water going from warm to cold once you started to go hard, AND, when you get out of the pool at the end you feel like you weigh a million pounds. That was really weird!
We've both decided that you need to eat an early dinner of something that's not acidic (or something too garlicy or spicy) beforehand because running in the water makes you burp every now and then. lol Not nice!
When we came home, I drank a bunch of water (you don't realize how thirsty you end up getting), and Trevor made himself a sandwich (lol...even though he almost wanted to eat a cheeseburger on the way home -- kinda defeats the purpose of the class!).
Until next Tuesday!
