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.
What?????
Where have I been all these years??!!!
Why would you NOT sign up, even if it's just for fun. After 6am EST tomorrow, yours truly will be somewhere at the bottom of the W45-49 list! I set my goal at 150 miles for the rest of the year, starting 07/01/14 - will probably not make it, but it will be fun to see how far off 25 miles/month I am!
I agree that it is a meaningful goal, depending on what you are trying to achieve. I'd like a freebie of any kind. Surely I can make the first milestone by the end of the year, even with only 1/2 year to get there. But I also agree with those that don't believe in it. Counting yardage and only yardage is like trying to train for a short drag race by driving a Prius going across america's highways at 68 mph. Yes, you'll log in a lot of mileage, but it won't be race specific.
I also think our poster is someone in disguise trying to drum up comments! So here was mine!
