Okay, My turn to brag a little bit, if I may... ;)
I had a great meet yesterday.
Shaved 5 seconds off my 200 free. Iafter I got done almost fainting from the effort, I almost fainted again from surprize when I saw my time. It's the time I didn't think I could do (yet).
Then I dropped 2 secoinds in my 100 free, and a second in my 50 free.
Finally for 100 free I dropped into teens. I'm around 1:18-ish now.
Then my coach says, today at practice... Yeah, you're doing really well, if you stick with it for couple of years, you'll turn into a major contender.
:eek: i'll stick with it allright, but a major contender... ugh! We'll see.
Did I mention I have the best coach? ;)

Not to be an ass or anything - just wait a couple/few years. I have never known a single swimmer who at some point does not get burnt out. It's at those times when you gotta push yourself to keep on going if you want to be keep getting better.
I myself have fallen victim to burn out as well. I was done with college swimming in '98 and it wasn't until last Oct. that I finally started swimming again.
