Focus Event?

On another thread, there was a reference to having a "focus event." I was wondering how many of us have focus events and what they are. Is it a good thing to have a focus event to help direct your training? I have an event that always seems to be my "best" event (50 back), but I wouldn't say I focus on it exclusively at all. More apt to focus on sprinting in general. Thoughts?

    My very first Marathon race 15 miles. I never trained over 2 hours of swimming. My second race that year a ten miler. I laid off all winter and started to train in May again never swam over 2 hours and did a 28 miler, 2nd week in July. Swimming long distance is not that hard it just takes desire to win and swim. But I was 30 years old.
