As I entered my yardage in my Fitness Log today, I noticed that we are 20% through the year. I also noticed that I’m about 10 miles behind my goal pace. My new mini goal is to get back on pace by the end of March… I want that Nike draw string bag!!!
I’m finding that having a Goal and the annoying reminder “You'll need to pick up the pace to achieve your goal this year:” is actually working to get me to the pool on days that I would in the past have skipped.
How about you?
Today was my annual day to be in awe of the GTD leaders. Every so often I'll see where I stack up in my age group, but today I decided to look at the overall list. The first thing that stood out is just how far the leaders have swum and the second was just how far down the list I am. I had to scroll through lots of swimmers before I found my name.
As of November 22nd, 15 swimmers are over 1,000 miles. The leader, Timothy Martin is at 1828.05 miles (he's 300 miles ahead of second place!). The 22nd was the 326th day of the year. That means he's averaged 5.61 miles or 9869 yards per day! To be over 1,000 miles right now you'd need to average 5,400 yards per day. That is a lot of swimming. :bow:
