The 2011 Go the Distance fitness event is now open. More than 2,200 members participated in 2010; why don't you join them for 2011?
Go The Distance is an online self-directed fitness program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. Swimmers may strive to reach a number of distance milestones and automatically receive recognition for their achievements and awards at certain milestones.
To get started, you will need to set up your FLOG (Fitness Log) on the USMS web site. Instructions can be found here:

Yeah, I knew I needed somewhere around that to make it so just did an extra bit to make sure!
You are a swimming fool! Especially with all the running, parenting, and other stuff you do...I could only dream of having your energizer bunny life!!! :D
I'm gonna scale back a little this year, do more quality stuff and work on more stuff out of the pool like cardio, weights, diet, etc. Since I'm not focusing on distance (thought I might swim the 800 or 1500 at Nationals) I'm gonna focus on the middle distance 200 and 400 for LCM.
Remember, I don't have a paying job AND I completely crash at 9 p.m. Energizer bunny life... only sometimes. The rest of the time I fake it. :)
I'll bet by changing your focus you'll become even stronger, even in events you're not expecting. That's what happened with my running. I stopped doing triathlons, cut down my distance, did more quality, and got more fit overall. I'm running faster at, ahem, 45 than I EVER have.
