SWIM: 1500 yards in an hour, time dedicated to drills
And so begins the Competitive Season.
I'm writing part of this in the morning, and what a morning already. A few observations:
1. I've kicked the Monster out. If he knocks again, I ain't answering. I've said that before, and I've failed. But I'm messing myself up, psychologically and physiologically. I did some reading on it last night, it is having an effect on me and perpetuates a cycle of up/down/up/down. Time to get off that ride.
2. Speaking of messing myself up, the damage is becoming apparent. I'm doubting myself, making poor choices, distracted, and low-motivation. Things aren't fitting together, if ya know what I mean.
3. I'm doing, then thinking. I need to reverse that. Think, then do. Think it through, consider the options and consequences, then act on it.
The swim today was so-so. I didn't time anything. I didn't finish the drills. I didn't try very hard. I made excuses. I came home and had a good brekkie that devolved into a EatMoarBad and waste of time. Now I'm in a hard-on-myself mood that I need to snap out of.
So my plan is to come back later today with a more positive post that outlines the goals for the Competitive Season!
