The forces of evil are conspiring against me...

Or maybe not quite that dramatic, but I'm sooo frustrated - here's why: My normal pool is closed for a two week matinence so I've been swimming at the local Y instead. Now I was out of town for the last half-week and couldn't swim. So I figure I'll go and get a swim in today and get back in the water. Aaaand......the Y is CLOSED! Not fair! I'm going to New York in for a week soon and there will be no swimming there, so at best I'll get in two more swims before I leave, and two after that before I move back into school. Aghagha. Dry land just isn't as fun as swimming. :(
  • Originally posted by hmlee I don't mind the rest periods....but I'm joining my University's team in the fall and every day I'm forced to take off due to extraneous circumstances makes me more nervous :( I'll bring my running experience into this, fwiw. My guess is that if you've been training pretty steadily, the time off (or reduced time) might even benefit your fall swimming, by giving you a chance to rest, recover from constant sustained effort, and come to the team refreshed.
