Hi everyone, any advice is appreciated... I'm signed up for a few open water swims this summer, but I haven't been able to get my motivation up to swim lately. It's been months, really...and I LOVE open water. I want to do well! What's wrong with me? How do I bust out of this swimming funk?? :badday:
Thanks for the input everyone...I think it might partly be inertia and partly residual swimming burn out from college. College was a long while ago, but it seems to have stuck with me. I get that same feeling of dread about having to attend the morning workouts as I did in college, then I remember that I don't have to go to the pool if I don't want to. So I don't. This is despite the fact that I've never been unhappy about having gone to a masters workout.
I'm going to try breaking the inertia tomorrow morning by using the "swim until I want to get out" technique...wish me luck!
