Does anyone else think this time of the year is the hardest to train? (holidays, middle of the season, cold, etc..) If so, what do you do that helps? I'm exhausted and having a hard time keeping my motivation up. Any suggestions?

This can be a difficult time of year to train and stay motivated. One thing you might want to do is find a swim meet in Dec. and use that as a motivation as your big mid season meet where you taper. This might help you stay focused in the pool, keep ya motivated and keep ya from over eating all the yummy holiday foods and beverages.
I just started my taper for my big meet coming up in two weeks. I feel busting my @$$ from Aug until May for Nationals is just way to long. Its good to have a mid season taper, for me anyways. I am sure some will argue that one taper is enough. I like the mid season taper because then it propels me into January where I once again to tear my body down until May.
