So I return to school from my christmas break on Monday, and I have around 4-5 weeks of the season left.
I'm depressed.
As a lot of you know, I had a bad injury this year...and while I've been slowly and steadily healing, I'm still not 100%. I'm able to manage a few flip turns now, but can't do them on a constant basis. My speed and technique are still way off what they should be...due to my being out of the water for a while.
And I don't know how I'm going to get through the end of the season.
I mean all the rest of the girls on the team will be back from training trip, stronger and faster....they'll swim lots and then taper for our conference meet.
I don't even know if I'll swim in a meet.
Part of me wants to, of course, but another part of me doesn't ...because at this point I'm so far off what I should be that I...well I don't want to embarass myself.
Basically, this season has been a loss and I'm training for next year. How do I drag myself through the end of the season? Sigh....

I think you have the right idea about training for next year. I know that if I were not prepared for a meet I would not want to waste my time entering. What does your coach say?
