January Swim Challenge - The Madness Continues! Quote | Reply
OK, I'll take the lead here. Hats off to Tigerchik for inspiring me and many others in December. As she is tapering for a big meet mid-January, I'll take charge of the January Swim Challenge.

As in December, post your goal distance for the month and keep us up to date by replying to this thread. We'll track your progress and the "winner" will be the person who performs best vis a vis their goal. And no sandbagging! :)

I'll kick it off with my goal of 40,000 meters. This is a significant increase from my December goal of 25,000 and my November actual of approximately zero.

I pulled in at the "laterne rouge" in the December challenge with 19,000m (my original goal was 15,000) which I upped to 25000. I have a lot of business travel in January and I'll actually stay at hotels with pools ranging from 15m to 40 m, so I'll aim for 25,000 in January!

One pool is 15m, the rest in the 20-40 range. In 15 m pool, I just do lot of drills with minimal pushoff and which involve lots of kicking to make my time worthwhile

I can't really fully commit until I get my schedule, but I'll say 25,000m.

Lets see. This month I swam 19 times with Masters, about 3000 per session, about 1:10 hours per session, so thats about 57k.

Have done this the last few months. Will see if I can keep going into Jan.

50K again. I'll be hitting around 45K this month, with several missed days from being sick. 50K is doable.

mlb, I'm definitely in. I'll let you know my goal in an hour or so when I think about my schedule and how much I can possibly swim. But count me in.

December my goal was way to high. So please put me down for 35km. Want this month to be more about riding but will give it a go.

Thanks in advance for keeping track.

Thanks for taking charge. This is the kind of challenge I need to get back in the pool.

Put me down for 25000.

ok, so for two years now I have watched these contest and enjoyed every moment, but never commited. So here's to losing my slowtwitch virginity. For three years of triathlon, my best month has been 25K so I guess I need to up the wager. Mark me down for 30K

Chalk me up for 50k. I want to annihilate that number, but I think it's a pretty conservative estimate that I should be able to do. Having never done a swim - focus month, I'm not sure how my shoulders will react.

Oh jeez this is pathetic but I have to set a new goal, if I am still alive after the 10 day virtual challange.

15k and that is a step up for me.

I'll aim for 45 k. I'm still dealing with a shoulder injury, but I think it's possible to hit 45 k!

1ook for me sil vous plait

yes, I'm tapering but 1ook + 3o swimming days in January = 3.3k a day average, which is very doable.
