Looking for some new ideas for my upcoming mile swim on Nov 22 for time. I have put in the yardage. Form is solid. I a middle distance guy who swims better mid to later in a practice. Not a sprinter nor distance guy
What should I be thinking about during the swim?
When I swim a 1650 or a 1500 I clear my mind. No thoughts of any kind. During most of the swim I close my eyes. I do not count my arms strokes, I just kind of sense when I need to open my eyes to do my turns.
Just get in, swim, feel it, own it. Don't think it.
I did a 9000 meter and 5500 meter swim earlier this year in this same manner.
