If you read my post “Talk yourself into a better triathlon performance“, then you know that I’ve been working in the vocabulary I use to describe myself and others. The Power of the Positive!

I shared that one way I always describe myself is by saying that I am a poor swimmer. Today I’ve become a swimmer for the year 2007! This fits well with the power statement I’ve been repeating, “I am a strong swimmer”.

Why am I a swimmer today? Because I just passed the total number of hours that I swam in the entire 2006 calendar year! In 2006, I swam a total of 30:53 hours…. a really low amount. Especially when you consider the majorit of that swimming was done in November and December. As of today, for 2007, I have swum 31:24 hours.

Look, I know it still needs to increase, but for today…. I am a swimmer! Check out my training log…… here.
