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?
100 m free (SCM) for a meet at Ga. Tech in December! I'm also working on 200m free and 200m IM. I can't wait because I only swam one long course meet this summer....and it was in JUNE!
Good--Stay away from those nasty freestyle events Alison! In return, I'll stay away from breaststroke events, except for amusement purposes.

One day we need to do a grudge match after you beat me in the 200 free. Maybe ***??? I'll make it more even and we can do a sprint.
Alison
Ok, the 200 free and the 50 ***. :whiteflag:
If we are to do 2 short events, then let's even it out a bit with the 800 or 1000 free :laugh2: With the short events, I'll be calling for :help:

Only if you promise to swim the 400 IM first!:lolup:
You know I'm always up for the long swims, but worry about what'll happen when your wrist is back to full training mode. Oh heck, at worst, chasing you around for an 800/1000 will improve my time.

Find me a meet with the 400 IM and long distance free together and I'm there! :) We'll have to see how post-surgery swimming goes in a few weeks. I hope I can recover and do well at that 200 free against you. You have me scared

Remember, the next meet is the SPRINT classic.
Doing any USA-S meets this fall? I need to focus on my meet schedule.
Normally the long distance free but lately I've enjoyed the 400 IM so this next year I will focus on improving my 400IM for LC Nationals. Other than that, It's ***, too.
