Journey to Olympic Trials, by Jeff Commings
This blog will post every workout I do as I prepare to compete at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials. I will be 38 years old when I swim the 100 breaststroke at the Trials in Omaha, so my journey to this meet will be unlike that of just about all the other competitors attending Trials
his First post was:
Sunday, August 21, 2011 Welcome! Let the journey begin!

My primary goal is to not get "DFL," or "Dead F------- Last." After a lengthy discussion with my coach, Mark Rankin, we thought it would be a nice goal to also swim under 1:04
Jeff's blog will be fun to follow and I'm certain he won't be DFL at trials.

I decided against posting on the USMS site because the blog is geared for people beyond Masters, and I wasn't entirely sure if a non-Masters swimmer would create a profile just to read my blog.
My blog has a place for comments, so if you want to interact, please do! I look forward to hearing from everyone.
Hats off to you, Jeff!
I've thought about entering the Nationals back in Scotland, but that's another level altogether from the US Olympic Trials.
I'll need to check out your blog (which I can't do at work) as I'm dying to know what constraints you are working with and how you will manage them (work, family, life....).
