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....
Your posts seem to mention everything BUT how hard and how often you are doing your rehab.
When you start taking rehab seriously, you will feel better quickly. Mostly mentally, but of course physically as well.
