How much time to spend on other strokes?

Hoffman - I'm mostly a fitness swimmer, when I compete it's for fun during the open water aquathlon season here in CA. I'll keep freestyle a heavy majority and use other strokes to break it up. Prob back and ***. Nobody likes backstroke huh? Wonder why they don't make goggles with little mirrors so you can see the wall coming up or something. Goechuck - Not bored when i'm swimming, but variation prob. would help motivate me when there's something new/challenging in store to get up to and go . It's a love hate relationship with exercise sometimes. Especially now that it's getting colder, once I'm there it's great ... but getting there ... that's the real challenge sometimes. Typhoons/Redbird - I'll definitely have to write up my sets from now on (the night before) ... will help me set better goals. I want to add another 800/1000 yards to my routine. But, ah ... I have to swim faster to get it in. Another reason I've been focusing on freestyle so much.
