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?

You're as fast as you think you are! I say go for it.
Interesting. I don't think I have a prayer of ever going my teenage times again and I'm only 37. :dunno:
Short-term goals: drag myself to practice tonight
Other goals:
lose 25 more pounds. I've lost 15 already.
Beat my postal 3000 time from last year
I haven't done any SCM or SCY meets in years, so I'm not sure what realistic time goals are for some events, but I'd like to churn out a decent 100 fly again.
