Dryland at home

Today was just one of those days where not a single pool time worked in my schedule. I imagine every athlete must battle with similar situations, it really boils down to planning. I need to carve out time earlier in my day to train and leave night workouts as a last resort. Today I planned on a mid day workout and ended up defaulting to a night workout and couldn't find an open pool nearby. To succeed at a 6-day workout schedule I need to aim for morning workouts. Then, should I fail to make it, I have both mid day and nightly workouts to fall back on. I'm guessing that wasn't the most interesting paragraph you've ever read.

I would really like to make it to at least one more big meet before I turn the big THREE ZERO and age up in Masters Swimming. I'm dedicating this whole next month to kicking and core strength to improve my underwater performance. Both scheduling and current speed will keep me from making it to the U.S. Short Course Nationals in Columbus this December but I'm excited to see what I can do at another meet. Embracing positive in that situation, I'll be able to swim more events in a less stressful situation going this route. I'm definitely improving and I feel great!

Tonight I'll do some core exercises and lift at home since I didn't make it to the pool.
