I'm rapidly losing the motivation to do anything other than sitting on my backside, I really need a challenge to get me moving again. Since I've swum just over 90 miles so far this year, i'd like to make it a swimmy challenge, and hopefully get my swim total over 100 miles for the first time. I know there are a lot of swimmers on the site, so I was wondering if anyone would like to join me in a race? I'll try and keep it similar to the FishEveryone challenge we tried to run a few years ago, only hopefully it will work better this time. My idea is to swim a 1km time trial in the next week (before 9th December), then train like hell for a few weeks, then swim another TT in w/c 11th January. Any improvement will be measured as a percentage of your original time, so it's not just about who can swim the fastest, but who can reduce their time the most. Any takers? |

Luiz, not a fish myself but SCOOBATRON swims over a mile 'every day' in our Olympic sized pool - he's not human! Might be worth f-mailing him to see if interested. I know he doesn't logon too often so might miss this thread otherwise.

Also, it is probably worth flagging to the people in the other swim threads. They might need a help to reach their 2009 totals aswell and a good start to 2010.
