This year has been the first year of my three swimming so far that I've kept a log of my yardage. I didn't realize it at the time, but in doing the math this late night/early morning, I crossed 1,000,000 yards on Wednesday, November 16th. It happened sometime during my early morning workout at Santa Clara Swim Club, probably at the exact same moment I was resting at the wall and the flying hand of the hapless lady I shared a lane with whacked my nose! My nose was sore for the rest of the day.
These are my totals per month:
Jan: 100,700
Feb: 106,750
Mar: 110,350
Apr: 121,840
May: 68,261
Jun: 106,948
Jul: 79,725
Aug: 50,950
Sep: 107,100
Oct: 63,850
Nov: 111,000 (so far)
Has anyone else crossed a million yards this year? Getting close?
Great going SealGirl! Sounds like you'll be ready to do the 10K openwater swim at Applegate next summer.
Thanks, Trout, for the encouragement. I would love to do a 10K open water but I'm too slow:cane:. I understand that we have to finish the 10K in less than 4 1/2 hours and my 10K in the pool last June was 4hr 49 min, and that was with a line to follow and 200 pushes off the wall! This past year I worked on increasing yardage, so maybe this year I can work on increasing speed. Happy New Year!:chug:
