All work no play

My lack of posting can only be attributed to my recent workload. I've been in the pool almost every day with an average of 3,000 yards/meters a day. With Short Course Nationals only a week and a half away I'm feeling quite unprepared.

I had an insightful conversation with a fellow swimmer Justin about my training situation. He recommended that I use my practices in community pools for short sprints only and save the aerobic workouts for EMU's facility. It's a simple yet effective way to minimize my frustration about the environmental conditions in community pools. I find myself distracted during sets by kids and scuba dives. Short distance sets will allow me to focus on high speed quality instead of trying to maintain focus on long sets.
