To put this post in context, see my Fitness Goals 2016 post here. The month of January was all about swimming for me. I've spend almost all my free time at the pool because there's so much to achieve and I'm very competitive with myself when it comes to sports. I don't know whether I'll be able to dedicate so much time to swimming in other months because there hasn't been time for much else and I'm so tired, but for now I will enjoy my progress. It's been a successful month for swimming. From my list of goals for 2016, I can cross off the following as complete:
-
I also achieved a few things which I never planned for:
- raced in first inter club carnival with Masters Australia
- swam a 400m freestyle event (most hated race)
- attended 5.30am swimming training (on two occasions)
- better statistics than I expected for January: 53km in total distance, 13 039.8 calories burned, 25 hours 30 minutes and 24 seconds spent swimming
- decided to work towards the million metres award with Masters Australia. I've completed 5% of the total distance required so far.
I also bought some amazing colourful swimwear. Does that count as an achievement?
What have you achieved in January?
