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:

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :party2: :cheerleader: :wine:
I was forced to open my eyes yesterday and re-evaluate my GTD goals for 2011.
In 2010 i swam 502km which was a slight increase from the 482km in 2009. I thought I could bump that up to 800km. but realized even in a perfect world I don't have time to swim the 15,3km a week needed. so I changed my goal to something more realistic 725km which is just under 14km/week.
I might end up around 750km or so, but it really depends on how long our spring/summer last this year.
if I get to the end of march (swedish nationals) and I am ahead of the 725km mark then i will adjust it up again.
