Why do I SUCK at freestyle?

Today's session once again made me ponder why I SUCK SO BAD at freestyle. I am not sure if it a lack of desire, a lack of ability, the wrong gear, or something else. There is one thing for sure the harder I try the worse it seems to get. I have watched videos, visualised moves and tried it on the water but nothing seems to work. I am a little puzzled and wonder if I should burn all my gear and take up knitting instead.

Just think, all that polystyrene would make a nice bombfire at the the beach, imagine how good the toasted marshmellows would be!

So back to the drawing board, time to think... I hope I come up with someting.

On more positive note the training at the gym has been good and I have been using a new GPS (thanks to Andy) which is really great for running and biking although it is getting a bit too hot now outside to run.

More to follow...
