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?

My immediate goal is to survive and enjoy Rob's Peachtree Pentathlon this weekend.
Shorter term: To consistently make practices 5-6 days a week this SCM season. I want go through a complete season of training that includes all phases: endurance, quality, peaking, and taper. Peak at St.Nicks.
Long-term, I want to swim well at SCY nats in Austin, of course;-)
Coming back after all these years is sooooo much fun. I only wish I knew then what I know now:p
