It is soo hard for me to concentrate during lap swim at my pool. Anyone else have this issue? Today i did my regular saturday morning swim. As I am traveling to the pool, I decide I am going to count how many laps I did today. I start counting as I go and then find myself trying to count my breaths for each length, or figure out a new drill to try, or why the heck is this person in front of me as slow as molasses in my lane? THEN, I rest when i hit the wall, and check out the other lanes..I get all competitive with strangers in the other lanes and it just ends embarassingly for myself. haha. On the way home, im mad that i didnt keep track of my laps n stuff. I dont time myslef as of yet because of my unorganized workouts thus far. I am going to join a masters team very very soon, hopefully that will remedy some of my issue. :shakeshead:

  • I am going to join a masters team very very soon, hopefully that will remedy some of my issue. :shakeshead: No it won't, cause the other folks in your lane will be asking you what the interval is. I just give them blank looks. I hear you on the losing count. I hate going over 200 cause I always lose count. Then again, that's why I'm ussually doing the SPRINT workout not the silly distance one. Join the Masters team now, trust me, you'll get a lot more out of it than swimming laps by yourself. I did that for the entire months of July and August and after 2 weeks of Masters work outs, I know I would have been better off doing half the work out with others than all of my laps by myself. Paul
