After reading article on how to navigate the turbulent waters of winter/Christmas training, I thought back to my years of unimaginably difficult post-holiday practices.
We had eight days to spend with our families over the holidays. As a freshman Arizona Wildcat, I swam ONE time during Christmas break. I knew I was going to get annihilated in the pool, on stadiums and in the weight room when I returned to Tucson, so my thought process was, I might as well store up some reserves for the upcoming weeks of depletion. No one else in my family swam, so there was no one there to guilt trip me into attending club practice. I was thrown the opposite kind of guilt: So swimming is more important than making fudge with your mom? Fudge won every single time.
When I returned to the pool, I felt like a dense piece of fudge attempting to complete punishing practices. I certainly had reserves, but not the type of reserves that were going to fuel me through three to four hour workouts. Now a swammer, I read over words about surviving the annual torture with a weird envy.
