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:
This is all really good advice - Rykno, I have the same problem that if my schedule gets thrown off then it's that much harder to get myself to the pool. Ande and ElaineK, I agree, I need to be more engaged in the sport as a whole and be a part of the community, and that's something that I haven't done since I started masters.
Ande, a blog you say? I do have one, in fact! (link below) I also started a swimming specific blog, but that went the way of my swimming when I lost my mojo. I'll try to reinvigorate that as well and post the link when I feel like there's something worth reading on it :)
I also just signed up for the Reston lake swim and clinic (on the last possible day) so at the very least I'll be swimming two miles this weekend. I am determined to not care about how fast I swim on zero training, just how much fun I have.
