My resolutions:
1. Last month, I discovered "Go the Distance" and inputted all my yardage from the past year. With a week and a half left in the year, I have put in 660 miles. Looking at the top of the GTD results, I see that a "Don Tatzin" has the most mileage of anybody this year with 1685. That is almost 3 million yards. For 2012, I resolve to top 3 million yards and the GTD list.
2. Get under :50 in the 100 yard freestyle. PB stands at 53.13 from last July. My current season goal for the event is even harder, but that's between me and my coach.
3. Get under :23 in the 50 yard freestyle. PB stands at 24.58 from last July. Current season goal is even harder, " "... The NY resolution makes for a nice little stepping stone.
4. Attain a QT for a Grand Prix, even if it's not for this current GP season.
5. Become the best I possibly can within the confines of Jan 01 12 to Jan 01 13.
I have no idea how ridiculous some of these might be, but with Darth Real Life all sorted out and logistics of classes and job all worked out, I still have a lot of extra time that can be spent at pools, for which I am very thankful. If you doubt me, I forgive you in advance (but I won't forget your words).
What are your swimming New Year's resolutions? And if you don't believe in NY resolutions, then what do you think you can do to improve your swimming?
I don't do New Year's resolutions, but it is time to set a new goal in Go The Distance. After analyzing this year's training volume (with heavier weighting given to the last few months of the year) and thinking carefully about what type of yardage volume I can sustain for a whole year, I have decided upon 1,234,567. :)
It appears that I am going to hit this goal on Saturday. So next year I am going to shoot for the same number but in meters. Possible side effects include using strange words like "milliliters" and "kilograms," as well as a tendency towards Greenwich Mean Time. :blah:
