What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
I started this thread over in the work outs section which I think doesn't get as much traffic as the general discussion board
so here's the link
forums.usms.org/showthread.php
but my point is,
No matter what, the time between right now and your focus meet is going to pass, and the things you do to prepare for your meet is of the UTMOST importance.
the choices you make
the chances you take
swim hard in practice
rehearse racing
I want to read your story about your breakthrough.
Decide it starts today
that this season will be your best season EVER
What do you need to do to make this true?
Ande
Anyone have a breakthrough last year?
Anyone working on a BREAKTHROUGH this year?
What are your goals?
What are your plans?
Tell us about it
2010 was my first year in USMS (and first year back in competition, in 30 years). Not knowing if I could even swim again after major shoulder surgery, my breakthrough was just getting being able to swim decent workouts and get back into competition form. But, beyond that my breakthroughs were:
1. Achieving my GTD of 420,000 yds / 238 miles - and surpassing it for a total of 263 miles; a 25 mile bonus. :)
2. Making 2011 SCY NQT's in 50 breaststroke while competing at Rob Copeland's Peachtree City Pentathlon- exactly (38.90).
:bliss:
Goals for 2011:
1. GTD 275 miles- and doing it with my shoulders (and everything else) staying healthy!
2. NQT's in 100 and 200 breaststroke. Making it in SCY will be difficult (especially the 200), but I really hope to do it in LCM where the times are more realistic for me to achieve.
Plans for 2011:
Swim at SCY and LCM Nationals! :cheerleader:
