Sorry

det har inte blivit av någon träning sen sista inlägget. Jag har haft alldeles för mycket att göra vilket har gjort att jag har fått gå upp väldigt tidigt på morgonen för att hinna med tåget och därefter har jag kommit hem alldeles för sent på kvällen för att ha tid för att träna.
Så fort detta tempo har lugnat ner sig kommer jag att sätta igång med träningen och bloggen men tills dess får ni själva ta hand om er och jag önskar er alla lycka till med er träning!

Tills vidare

I have decided and started!

2011-08-04T22:19:00.000-07:00

I have decided to try for 50m crawl, 100m crawl, 50m butterfly and 50m backstroke. The main goal are to qualify for 50m crawl and 50m butterfly - but if I qualify for the other two distance that would be wonderful.
I have in a way started my training. Not my physical or swim training because I have a swimmers ear for the moment and a soar throat. So my mental training has instead started.
What I'm doing now is training myself to relax in stressful sistuations and also imaging myself achieving the qualifications for the distances 50m crawl, 50m butterfly and 50m backstroke. For the 100m crawl I still have some issues, I feel little terrified and fatigue for the distance. In the beginning I couldn't even imagine myself starting the distance, now I hvae worked with myself and I can se myself get up on the starting block and start and enter the water and take three good and strong strokes - but after that I choke. So I have some more work to do to feel comfortable with the distance. Luckily I have some time to prepare myself until my first competition for 100m crawl.
My first competition for the shorter distances is on the 21st of August - and I can't wait the see in what kind of shape I'm in.
