I don't know about you, but swim training has been lack luster so far this off season. Anyone up to a mid month challenge?

I am more concerned about getting my butt to the pool, then I am the distance, so if anyone else wants to join me in this mid-month challenge so we can hold each other accountable that would be great.

My goal is to get to the pool AT LEAST 3x per week


Who else is in, and what is your goal?

I am in.  Same issue as you.  I am a slow swimmer.  I can do the distance just slow.  The last few weeks I have only gone once or twice.  I went today so my week is starting off on the right foot.  Plan a Tuesday and Thursday swim this week.

I am also in. Was doing pretty well over the winter but life has been getting in the way lately. I will have to start swimming on my lunch hour.

My goal will also be to swim 3x a week

I would like to join, I have not done any challenges yet, and this seems like a good one to start with.

I am in for 3 times a week, minimum of 2,000 yards.  Ya!

I will do my second swim of the week tonight as well.  Looking for 1800 yards or so.  I did over 2500 on Sunday.

I had a swim on my calendar for lunch today, but I had to call an audible because the sun was shining and my bike was crying, opted for a bike ride instead. 

So now I have 4 days to squeeze in my 3 swims.  Nice.

2nd swim of the week 2500 yards.  Doing the third this Friday!  If I succeed it will be my first three swims in a week since I started back swimming in December.   I have a Oly tri in a month and a HIM in two months I need all of these I can get.  I glad we threw this challenge out there!

I can't tell you how many times Mrs Tri Felt has cried and I had to take her out!  Sometimes you should have to make sure they happy!

So I finally made it to the pool this morning for a 2,000 yd swim.  I have Masters Swim tomorrow, so I made 2 out of 3 this week.  Not fantastic, but at least it is more than half.

Well crud, no lap swim tonight at the pool although I am not sure why.  Tomorrow is fine though, so I will get 2 out of 3 for this week.

Yuck, nothing like one final cold for the season, get better soon!

Swam today, so 2/3 for the week.  Next week maybe I can make up that one day.

Thank you, one small consolation is that we are having really nasty weather this weekend, so I don't feel like I am missing out on anything!  Good job on 2 out of 3!

My plan is to go at end of the day today.  Looking to get in a hour.  I swam two Sundays ago and did not swim yesterday by plan.  I need to get in 1 hour today.
