Today, 30 Nov., I achieved my 2013 goal of 450kms. That's 1 month ahead of schedule. :) Very pleased. I thought that I had chosen a moderately challenging goal, surpassing my 2012 goal (which was also achieved ahead of schedule). I definitely feel that I was more motivated having committed to a written goal.
Having said that, I am thinking about 2014. Do I simply up the distance again? Or maybe it's time for a more qualitative goal. For example working on distance per stroke or my flip turns. I usually swim 5 mornings a week, 2000-2500 meters per session. Now I am thinking of maybe doing 1 longer session per week (3000m.), 2 moderate sessions (2500m.) and 2 shorter, skill focus sessions (1500m.)
Any thought or suggestions would be welcomed.
Will you be picking GA Tech as your first meet of 2014?
Yes!
What events will you be swimming?
400 & 800 free, 100 & 200 back, and maybe one other.
On topic: I'm already looking forward to the world championships next summer, where I'm sure to swim the 100 & 200 back. What else? Should it be 50 back + 200 & 400 IM, or maybe 200-400-800 free and the open water race? Last year was all about 200s for me. Maybe this year should be about long axis. Once I pick my races, then I'll know what I'm training for.
I hope to see you and Diann there!
Me too! See you there!
