Jan. 1-31, 2011 One-Hour Postal: Who'll be the Champ?

Anyone have new goals for this year? Or planning to try a new stroke? Swimming solo or as a team? As this is a championship swim, someone will wear the crown. :cheerleader: to all swimmers! www.usms.org/.../event.php

  • If you have a clock you can see you will never recover from repeating 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 00 over and over in your head for an hour. You're right about that. My usual strategy is to ignore the clock as much as possible. I'm going to swim as fast as I'm going to swim. I don't need the extra irritation of knowing I'm four seconds off the pace at the 23 minute mark or whatever! I counted for my wife who did it for the first time ever today. In fact she joined USMS just to do the One Hour Postal. She ended up swimming 2,895 yards. :applaud:
