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,

OH.....MY........GOD..........
I can not IMAGINE surviving that workout. Just the 6 500s would kill me.

Paul,
I surprised myself doing this workout. I went in to it saying that if I make 8000 yds I will be very happy. So it was a huge accomplishment for me to finish. Had alot of encouragement from the faster guys and if it was not for my lane mate, I don't think I would have finished it all. The guys always tell me on sets/intervals that I dont think I can make....you can do it, but if this is all the better you want to be then you wont try. Me being competitive, I always try and will push myself to make it. I did tell them though, IF I dont break a minute in the 100 free at our next meet, I am going to kick all their butts.
