Hey all, i wasn't sure whether to post this in my blog (which i suppose i will do) or in the general discussion so i thought i will do both. Anyway for the past god knows how many months i have been training hard for the Oxford and North Bucks County Championships - the biggest competition i qualify for. This competition is this weekend, both days, and next weekend, also both days. Because of the seriousness of this comp i will be unable to complete the next 2 weeks in the program - i need my body to be rested and recovered for the weekends.

I will only be doing light land work instead, nothing amazingly challenging. Knowing my luck i would over do it if i stuck to the program and i really cannot afford to do that. lol.

After these 2 weeks i hope to jump back onto the wagon; although i am concidering using a 50 day conditioning program instead - really haven't decided. If i choose the 50 day program i will officially withdraw myself from this competition - if that happens DO NOT think i will abandon people here, that is the last think i want to do. I will always be here, i will continue to fund competitions and help people get the body they want.

To be honest i am really hoping that this board will continue beyond the 16 weeks and be a growing community for everyone.

Hay Sean, I know from your blog and various posts that swimming is your number 1 goal at the moment and you should hunt it down with all you’ve got. I’m sure I speak for every one in wishing you luck in what you are doing, and no one will want you to withdraw from the competition. If it wasn’t for this forum you started I know I would have not have maintained the challenge. The help and motivation I have had from you, and the rest of the people on this forum has been amazing, and I like you hope it will continue after the 16 weeks.

Good luck with the competition
Pete.

Thanks for the support Pete! I am very glad that this forum has helped people so far - and i will do everything in my power to keep it that way.

Swimming is by far my number 1 priority - and that is where i need to perform to my max.
