Today I received my swim suit. Thanks for the gift to make my FLOG efforts better.

We all should invite others vendors to the FLOG to hawk their wares!!

I just made it to my 400km goal on New Years Eve. I had to do an extra 1km at the end of my last session for the year to get me over the finish line, so-to-speak. Congrats to everyone who had a go.

I read that Nike is no longer giving away suits for FLOG goals. Is that correct?

No free awards at all this year: "There will be no free awards automatically sent to you for the 2015 GTD program. You will be able to purchase a milestone award once you hit any of the milestone award numbers on the chart above."I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in this. Nike and I go way back... almost 4 years now. I wore my suit with pride knowing I was a Nike marketing engine wherever I practiced. I stood up for my worn out Nike suits when the lifeguards told me the holes in it were not "family friendly" anymore. I've put in the miles and dropped my times. I finally brought Nike that elusive top ten finish in the vaunted 40-44 age group. Sure, I actually swam that race in a Yingfa but only because of the shipping mix-up prior to the meet (it was a shipping mix-up right?). And now to find out on an Internet thread that I'm being dropped... well, that hurts! :( pssst.... Speedo, TYR, Arena looks like I'm a free agent in 2015. Call my agent asap!

Swim caps are good give away presents to non swim team people. Maybe we can sell them at the gym pool to the blue hair water volleyball and milk bottle exercise programs!!

Not that I will reach any of the mileage thresholds, but I was kind of tire of getting a swim cap, given that I don't wear caps.

Looks like all of the achievements are swim caps with the appropriate mileage.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! I missed my 500 by 6 miles or so. That's okay, I have a crazy busy life and I'm grateful for every single minute I'm able to steal away in the pool. I hope everyone has signed up for 2015 Flog and GTD! Also, check out the Check-Off Challenge!!! They have some great tee shirts and caps you can purchase and keep track of your meet stroke/distance swims. Remember, you can complete these swims in a meet, practice, or totally on your own. This is a challenge where you can make your own rules and standards!! Have fun with your swimming!

365 is a good idea - easy to keep track of the miles. Elaine - your hip will let you pull all you want till you start slow easy kicking into the distance. You will be surprised how much better you feel when it does not hurt to swim!!!

Welcome 2015 !!! Now what do we do with this year's goal setting? Up ---- down --- same--- none ---forget about the daily log ins ????

Year 2014 was the first year I did the FLOG goal setting and log-ins, I reached the 250 mile goal I set. I had a few extra swims to squeeze in during the end of December, to make up for sick days when I couldn't swim. That said, for 2015 I am upping goal and aiming for 365 miles, to average 1 mile a day. Started out Jan 1 with a polar dip and 2 mile pool swim to get on track. I will need to get in 4-5 times a week to reach goal or do an extra long weekend swim on top of regular 3x weekly swim workouts. I wish the free cap was still available for at least one of the lower mileage points, such as 100 miles goal.

I don't know what to set it at this year. With the past two years having something pull me out of the water for the summer months. I'm going to set it at 600 miles since I made 500 this year and I did 600 the last time I did a full year.

Welcome 2015 !!! Now what do we do with this year's goal setting? Up ---- down --- same--- none ---forget about the daily log ins ???? Thanks to my hip surgery, I ended up just short of 400 miles at 397.62. Not knowing how my hip will recover, it's difficult to set a distance goal. I just don't know how much my hip will tolerate over these next few months. I know I have to dial it down, so I think I'll go with 250 miles and make a mid-year adjustment if needed. How about you? What's your goal?

Just hit 900,000 meter (appr. 559 miles) today. Was not sure I would do. The original estimation was about 500 miles.
