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

  • Congrats to everyone who's done so well at this event! I just found a way to get my hour swim in before the end of the month, and I didn't even have to dodge icebergs in the Hudson River... My goal was 4000, and I made it to 3950 with 0 seconds to spare. And I'm going to go ahead an be really happy with that, since I did 3825 last year. Also, it felt pretty good except for the goggle induced headache. My best accomplishment was keeping accurate count of my yardage, with a margin of error of 50 yards or so. I just thought of the swim as 4 x 1000. Now the question is: can I squeeze another 50 in by this time next year???? And will I be able to do the other 4 events this year?
