Swimming Madness at the USAT National Challenge Competition
I had been looking forward to the USAT NCC challenge since before completing IMAZ . Is set my goals right after Ironman to keep myself challenged, otherwise I’d do nothing and regret it later. I committed to putting more effort into the swim and maybe being top 10 in my Tri Club (TCSD) . Last year, in the last week of the challenge, I realized I could do well as I was fine with swimming more. While I am slow, I am determined and willing tot put the time in. Last year I saw my rankings climb, not to the top but it reflected how much work and time I put into it. I can do better. And wouldn’t it be neat to be up there with the REALLY amazing swimmers on Tri Club. I established a plan. Goal was consistency, less yardage early in the week (2.5-3K) mostly due to my work schedule, working my way up to a 5-6k by Thurs and Friday and attempt a 10K every Sunday. The 10K was added after the first week. I told myself to stick with the plan and I will see myself go up in the ranking...
