Feel free to post both your short-term and long-term goals here relating to your swimming either as achievements with or without competition.
Here is my short-term goal while I am visiting in Texas:
To swim from the Joe Pool Lake Beach to the dam and back. Distance: 9.68 miles. I want to do this before October 6th.
The interesting thing is because I am in Texas, I have not been swimming the mileage I was doing when in Roatan. I have sort of been in a state of tapering throughout the week with a long swim on Sundays. AND, I am swimming further on those Sundays. Instead of swimming 6 miles, 4xweek, I am doing 4 miles three times a week with a long swim on Sundays; quite a reduction. The thought of over-training comes to mind as I ponder all this.
Next goal: 13 mile swim by end of November.
What are your goals?

Short term - To get back in shape after being out for a few months. This is my eighth week back in the water and I feel really good. Peachtree City Pentathlon this weekend......just doing the Sprint to see where I am. It's a 50 of each stroke and a 100 IM.....thought about doing the middle distance (100 of each stroke and a 200 IM) maybe next year.
Long Term - Make it back to Nationals next year SCY and LCM if money will allow and be competitive in a few events. Training this time is going very well I think....instead of just getting in and swimming a workout.....I am actually pushing myself this time....kind of hard sometimes when swimming alone, but getting back into coaching is helping with the motivation....gotta stay faster than the kids!!!!!:thhbbb:
