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
Hey, thanks for all the comments about the 100x100's. I set my alarm again this morning, for 7:20. It went off, I was so sore, I shut it off, went back to sleep until about 8:30. Got up, and started my run around 9. It wasn't quite raining, but was very humid out, cloudy, water spritzing most of the time. Around the 8 to 9 mile mark, it started to drizzle, and felt pretty good. I ended up doing 9.62 miles (according to my iPod), overall 8:34/mile pace, about 9 sec/mile faster than my 10 mile run last Sunday.
Maybe I'll set a goal this year and finally do the La Jolla Roughwater Swim...I've been wanting to do it for years, but never got around to it. It seems I'm always traveling somewhere else right around that time, but I'll find out when it is and put it on my calendar this week.
