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? ;)

About burnout...
Oh, I believe you completely.
I'm not saying its' not gonna happen to me.
Heck, after being an engineer for 17 years, I know a lot about burnout :)
I've gotten pretty good at finding some new and interesting angle to get around it.
People who have known me personally for a long time know that I don't give up. Unless I see it's a destructive and not a worthwile battle.
I know from the past in general (life experience), it takes me 3-5 years to start approaching burnout. My approach to fixing that is to stick with the main path, and make a small change of scenery.
So, we'll see. hey, I'm a Taurus, I certainly know how to dig my heels in! ;)
