Does anyone else think the go the distance program is seriously stupid. The prizes stink, it's too hard to get them if you even get the prize you deserved. I don't even think most people are even telling the truth about how much they swim to cheat.
There is always negativity in the world. This started with a negative assumption, but so many positives have been expressed to validate GTD. Aside from the obvious, the goodies, I tend to focus more on the records year over year. If I had a great spell, and am now in a downturn, I can go back and see what I was doing when things were going better. I can track my training patterns over time and can see what makes a difference in results. I can't see how someone can possibly see anything negative about GTD unless, of course, they are only focused on the goodies. In my world, they're nice but not necessary for my motivation.
