Okay first a few stats: When I am training "hard" I swim 18-20K per week in 5 workouts, with one wokrout being only 2K of technique work. I trained hard from Jan to March and swam pretty well at a taper meet. Generally I think that I need 10 weeks of hard training, followed by a 10 day taper to have a succesful taper meet.
Well, first I got sick and now that I am almost better I will be going out of town for 10 days. I have no chance at having a succesful training for my big summer meet because it is now only 8 weeks off. Facot in a taper and I am only going to get 6 weeks of hard work minus 10 days off. So my question is:
How much yardage should I do NOW so that when the fall rolls around and I start training for my next big meet I am not starting over? I don't have the mental energy to commit to full training, but I don't want to lose gound. Thoughts...

Is gym time out of the question when you're out of town for those 10 days? There are lots of things you can do in the gym with weights and cardio and it won't affect your swim training when you can get back into the pool later.
Good Luck.
