2011 Look Back:
I learned that I'm actually rather sloooooow, despite my naive beliefs to the contrary when comparying myself to other lap swimmers. :cane:
I learned that my stroke technique was off and I had no EVF, my kick is weak and I relied to much on gliding.
Ohh.. also I need to build up some more strength!
I also learned that I do really want to be faster and I gained motivation to start working more seriously on my swimming. :banana:
2012 Look Ahead:
I aim to get regular swims in each week, as well as dryland training and not allow myself to take a couple months off of working out! :bed:
I plan on kicking faster and incorporating my kick smoothly into my stroke, getting faster at breaststroke, IM, and freestyle and to get my freestyle 50yd time to 30 seconds or less.
Thanks to Masters Swimming and everyone on the forums that help to keep me inspired, motivated and working hard!
Cheers and Happy New Year! :drink:
