Lap Number 34

Lap 4 out of 5


Ambition for the Future

 

There is no wrong answer for this -

Unless you’re feeling body pain during this activity

Acquiring body pain
Would be the wrong way
To perform your number four lap out of five

Sometimes when I'm having a good swim day
I can really step on the gas
During final set-of-five

This is the fourth leg of your worthy mission
The end is so near you can smell it

You're always listening
To your inner sense

If you're in a great place with yourself physically
It's certainly possible to push yourself

Into a full blown sprint at this time
Oxygenated blood is interesting


Actual picture of me chilling in the hot tub knowing I just popped off a mile in the pool


Still there is a comfort knowing
That being on autopilot at this point
Is more than sufficient for completing the challenge
Whether fast or slow, we are just a few laps from the hot tub


Lesson Summary

During the fourth lap out of five in a swimming challenge, it's essential to prioritize comfort and listen to your body to avoid unnecessary strain. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • It's crucial to avoid pushing yourself too hard, especially if you're experiencing body pain during the activity.
  • While some days might feel like you can really excel, maintaining a steady pace and not overexerting yourself is vital during this stage of the challenge.
  • Listening to your body and sense of wellbeing is key to gauging whether you can intensify your efforts or stick to a moderate pace.
  • Although pushing to a full sprint might be tempting, staying in a comfortable rhythm can be equally satisfying and effective in completing the challenge.
  • Remember that the end goal is within reach, and being on autopilot during this lap is more than sufficient to reach the finish line, regardless of speed.
