Insanity

3rd straight afternoon workout cancelled due to poop in the pool. Still had the 2 morning workouts in the last 5 days. We did a dryland workout. It was supposed to be a sprint workout so we focused on fast hip rotations with ab work.

At the end I had a talk about first dreaming and challenging the impossible. I added some talking about training. I used Einstein's definition of insanity, "To continue to do the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result."

Tied it in to training. If a swimmer continues to swim on the same interval, and swimming the same speed at workout, but expects faster times as a result, would be insane. As a swimmer gets faster they should be able to train faster. 

Tie it all together. How many times does a senior swimmer hear a set and decide that they can't do that, or doesn't want to do that. They are content with their current training with no big challenges and then expects to swim fast. Believe that you can accomplish which once was deemed impossible. Face that challenge with vigor and determination. Go outside your norm and do something amazing at workout, and then you can expect a different and better result.
