I'm curious as to wheather people believe that the 5:30 A.M. practice is what makes swimming such a tough sport. For those of you that religiously attend early morning practices, what's your secret to sticking with it?

I swim at 6 AM twice a week, and I find that it is a good way to start the day. One thing that helps me is not go back to sleep if I wake up, let's say, 30 minutes ahead of when I plan to get up. Just get up!! I found that if I went back to sleep it was much harder to get up. I get up and have more time for a leisurely bite to eat and a look at the paper.
