Now that we've had our first cold snap here in Austin, I wonder if anyone else has trouble getting up in the cold wee hours to make practice? Any good ways to trick yourself out of bed?
I keep an alarm clock in another room and often think of the answer I'd have to give when coach inevitably says, "So I didn't see you yesterday..." But sometimes, those things just aren't enough. I post this knowing we really don't have much to complain about in the way of cold weather, but I'm a native Texan and just have never liked being cold at all (cold being 55 degrees or so).

Swim weird events! In November I swam PB's in the distance backstroke events. (This is just me swimming alone in practice, not in competition. And to be clear, these were all done on different days.)
500 SCY Backstroke 6:15
1000 SCY Backstroke 12:52
1650 SCY Backstroke 21:24
On the 1000 and the 1650, I did at least 7 SDK off every wall and never exceeded 11 strokes per length. I still have lots of room for improvement but those times are a big drop from April, the last time I attempted these odd events. This month I might go for the 500 fly... I haven't done it since my Butternut induction swim last December...
