Holiday Swim Achievements, 12-24-07 to 1-6-08

ViveBene
Dear All, Thanksgiving swim activities of forum participants showed big determination on the part of many, big yardage, and maybe a dash of refuge seeking. Swimming over end-of-year holidays has a completely different rhythm: holiday/family obligations are greater, taking time from swimming, but there is also the wonderful, once-a-year New Year's swim, different for every coach and club. Any big achievements over this period? Bananas? How did you manage migrating pool schedules? What is planned/did occur for New Year's swim? Regards, VB

    I took 5 secs off my 100 interval. First attempt I made 8/10 reps Tried again last night and made all 10 with a little gas to spare. Also trying to knock off 10 secs from my 50 interval too managed 8/10 the other day...will try again Friday... I figured I just wasn't pushing myself hard enough. It's funny when I have a noodler ask me if I am ok because I am breathing hard...well I appreciate the concern but I told him (nicely) fitness is speed of recovery back to comfortable breathing, not breathing hard after hard effort... Another note I'm all of a sudden begining to feel the "weight" of the water as my hand enters for the pull...almost like the catch is telling me when to pull...I could be doing something wrong but it feels so right...now that would be a first :joker:
