I am moving somewhere where I won't be able to swim much for two years. Anyway, I made it my goal to swim 15,000 meters straight in four hours. I was only able to swim 14,000 meters, but it was a great experience. I actually had time to finish another thousand, but my body died on me. I should also say that I have not been training like I usually do, so this was a lot of swimming. It was a great accomplishment and I can now go without swimming for awhile. My question is, what is the most you have ever done in a workout or in a day and what has it meant to you?
In my case, this was the most I had ever done in a workout. Most in a day was 25,000 that was stretched over the entire day. The meaning of my 14,000 meters was that I was able to have the mental and physical ability to handle doing this many meters by myself.

Peter....thank you very much for your post....I LOL to the max! On the floor LOL....
Under most circumtances, I do not like to fight, or toss my demented, bent, sick, deluded sense of humor into the trash, but every now an again, when stuck in a corner, or when someone slams people I highly respect, I can take the gloves off. After reading the first post over there....the gloves came off.
All kidding aside, and being serious here.....I believe in greatness! And when I see greatness in people like Eddie Reese....who is an Icon in our sport being slammed, maligned and dealt with in such a blatant, disrespectful manner by someone who has no clue what it takes to make decisions on that level in swimming, well, I have trouble keeping my mouth shut or the gloves on. Eddie Reese does not know me from Adam. But, I met him twice while in Texas, and both times I found him to be a class act. I know two very good swimmers that know the man well, and both say he is decent and as bright as they get. I'll stand up for that any day even if I take a few shots from the tin horn.
