48 and Chuffed with my Results 🏊♂️💨💨💨💨
I don’t believe in working in silence,… in fact,… working in silence is a way of being able to stay silent when things don’t work out,… it protects people who hide behind the fear of failure ❌
I believe in setting intentions ✅
Taking action towards those intentions ✅
Achieving the standard wayyyyyyy before the test ✅
Otherwise known as confidence and self belief,… through action ✅
By posting my intentions months in advance, and tracking my progress gives me full accountability, especially when training 🏊♂️💨💨💨💨
I find this approach really helps me, with most things I do.
I’m always nervous prior to tests,… but I knew I’d do well,… I didn’t realise I’d smash my all time swims during the test,… I was blown away with that 🙏
Swim RNLI Standard 400 meter swim in under 7:30 mins with the first 200 under 3:30 mins
My swim time for 400 meters was 06:52 mins with the first 200 in 03:08 mins
I beat my previous PB 400 time by 5 secs And my previous 200 meters by 12 secs (HUGE, for me)
Next test was 50 meters under and over,… 25 meters under water followed by 25 meters sprint back in under 50 secs 🫁
This can be difficult,… largely psychological but I hit 46 secs first attempt 🙏
The consistency of my swim training paid dividends 💯
Last test was 200 meter barefoot sprint on the beach,… I can be pretty nippy still at 48 but my legs felt tight, and I couldn’t remember why 💭
I got roughly 180 meters and my calve muscle decided to say “remember walking up Mount San Anton 2 days ago Jase” ⛰️
To a bystander I probably looked like I’d been snippered 😂,… as I hobbled and hopped over the line still within the time at 36 secs
Thank you to Brett for the words of encouragement,… and to Roman for your advice on allowing more time to glide under water 🙏🙏
I don’t recognise myself from my younger days,… but I’d be proud of myself if the younger me could see what I’m doing now 💯
Lastly,…If you’re over 40 and feeling lost or holding yourself back,… STOP 🛑,… time will expire for us all,… don’t f**k it up by living in a shell 🐚,… switch off the s**t box 📺
