~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I braved the Rec Center yesterday afternoon and it was a total mosh pit as expected. I did manage to get half a lane the entire time. My new pet peeve: parents who seem to think it's OK to have their kid jump in and play in a lap lane being split by two adults. wtf

Still not 100%. My belly DPK has worsened after neglect. And I haven't tried my new backstroke start since the first week in Feb. I had better get some of those in before my meet March 16.

    Do not psyche yourself out about the month of hell. I checked your blog you did enough maintenance. I've had it too...you have some meets in the next few weeks to practice.
    Remember the master's mantra "It's never going to be perfect"

    Train up for Zones and taper after. Start with a massage "stat", after zones.

    When parents let their kids use a lap lane as a play lane, I ask the kids to leave, nicely. If the kids keep coming back into the lane, they either become part of the wall or a floating object that I don't stop for.

    One of my fears is having a person accidentally landing on my back while I'm swimming. My shoulder would be destroyed

    Yeah, it is rarely perfect. And I feel like I had a super meet just last Dec., so shouldn't get too greedy. It's just a matter of whether to spend $$$ and do a full 3 week taper for Indy when that LCM Zones meet is only 5 weeks later. Allen thought perhaps I should aim for that meet instead.

    I do already have a massage booked for after Zones to help with recovery. I'm also glad there is more than just 12 days between Zones and Nats this year.

    I didn't ask as nicely as usual yesterday, probably cuz I just kept getting bombarded. I just don't understand what parents are even thinking. I was prepared to blow down one kid who did hop in my lane, but after one length he got out.

    I hadn't thought about that eventuality! I worry more about head on collisions when someone hops in when I'm doing backstroke or backstroke kick and can't see them. That happened this summer in a LCM pool and the person told me to "watch what I was doing" while she did head out of the water breaststroke ...
