Well, my coach wants me to increase my yardage for training for the big meet in August. His goal is for me to swim 10,000 yards/week, 2 days focusing on free, and the other on some strokework, back & breast. I have increased my distances and their frequency, though yesterday my legs cramped up big time during my set of 400s.
Being a transplant recipient creates the situation to push your limits to the max, while respecting where they end. Overdoing it requires longer recovery and throws off the training schedule. When that happens, recovery time is longer than non-tx folks, generally. The immunosuppressed system doesn't have the full capacity to get back up to snuff. That is probably what happened yesterday, so I am going to let go of something, maybe some work. It is time to being more focused on being fully prepared to go for the gold on the Gold Coast!
Thank you to those who have contributed so far! I am getting closer to the goal to make the trip!! It is wonderful to have many friends and supporters for this pursuit and opportunity to display the miracle of organ transplantation.
