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 goal remains the same: a sub minute 100 free at Austin.
I was encouraged earlier in the season because I went a 1:02.1 the last weekend in January while starting to come down with a cold (and after swimming the 500 and 100 IM). This is my fastest unrested 100 free time and a good second better than I was this time last year. Sadly, I still have the same FREAKIN' cold and haven't been at the pool much (My total Feb yardage is 7900 so far...) :frustrated: Still, there's over 2 months left till Nationals!
Good luck to everyone on their goals! Congrats to Donna for making some ahead of schedule! :)
