I'm pretty much at the point of seriously considering giving up swimming again. Just don't feel like I'm going to be able to make up the ground I've lost and feeling pretty gutted and disillusioned

3000 yards @ 65 minutes. Who knew the pool would be more crowded on MLK? Bah, poor planning on my part.1

@emmab0902 As I said in the News Feed A small break away from Competitive Swimming might reset your mind and allow you a fresh start. You have the skill and strength Miss Emma. We tend to be overly critical of our own skills/accomplishments so don't give up on something that has been a part of your life for a long time.
Tri-Athlon 750m Time Trial today at noon. Pleasantly Surprised as I managed it in 18:20. My PB for the distance is 18:02. To be this close when not in a training cycle feels good.
Did another 250m of back to get the 1000m in.2 -
Pool manager wanted to chat when I was trying to get started today. 2350y 54 minutes, didn't get my full hour2

Oh Emma so sorry to hear you are feeling this way and I realize that this frustration has been with you for a while. As much as I hate to not read up on your swim workouts and awesome achievements, I tend to agree maybe it is just time for a break (hopefully a short one). I know that like me, swimming is just a part of who you are so I am confident you will get back in there when you are in a better place. In the meantime, I know you will stay active doing other stuff just cuz you are an awesome athlete, not just swimmer.0 -
Ok so here it is, the lovely workout our coach promised:
3900 m 80 minutes
300 Warm up
5x100 IM at 2min
8x50 at 1 min
8x50 at 55 sec
8x 50 at 50
5x100 kick at 2:15
2x200 on 4 min
8x100 backstroke at 2min
200 cool down
I didn't do all 4200 because I missed some of the warm up (was supposed to be 600)
We were supposed to stay under 40 seconds for the 50s, which I managed until the 3rd set.

Wall Turns & Dolphin Kick 10 x 10m
Cool down 4 x 25m
The instructor was going to do the turns in the shallow end - I advised her that if I tried that
it would be (Hospital Visit) ugly as I have a deep turn ( below the T ). Its something that I have been working on, trying to complete the turn faster and keep my feet above the T, Dolphin kick off the wall on my side as I have a more efficient side Dolphin. Some of the open water turns were really ugly as I really felt lost without the wall as a reference.1 -

How was it by yourself, emma? I'm sorry to read that you're not feeling it right now. You have a stressful job and it seemed that swimming was a good outlet for that. I hope you can find a place where it gives you back energy and peace. It's such a part of you.
50 min yesterday, I'm not sure what the distance was. Just listening to my tunes, trying to keep my butt up

3500 yards @ 70 minutes
Did my fastest set so far 5 x 200 on the 3:15 pull. A nice way to finish the week out.1 -
No swim today. A day to march for unity, justice and equality
Swimming can wait until Monday. I'm so happy to be a part of a LOUD city!!! 45,000 predicted, 100,000 show up 2 -
Swam yesterday and it was a good one. Not going to try matching the marches happening today. All you girls are my heroes!2
