No goals?

So 2015 - I had great plans in early 2015.

Cold start of year = no serious distance covered in OW

a 3km in early June
i cancelled this and had a lovely time with my wife

a 8-10km in mid July
I cancelled this and had a lovely time with wife and kids

a 17km in August
I didnt even sign up as didnt do the 8km

Ended up in end of august doing a local 3km which I enjoyed

This year really bit of a non year, swimming 3-4 times a week but nothing more than 30mins to 1h sessions. And im back in the pool doing drills - and i have NO plans whatsover for 2016 - just kind of enjoying swimming doing a drills and sprints again.

Do I need to have any plans?? Im skinny enough so no winter swimming or that lark.

The local surfllfesavers reckons i should just join them instead for the master clubbie world champs 2016....

I have similar plans! Luckily a couple friends have announced their Catalina Channel attempts so I can get away with focusing on helping them with training swims and crewing their attempts. I can say things like "It's really time I gave back, don't you think?" Plus I will be saving money for whatever I come up with for 2017.

for sure, i like the idea of having a nice new goal - but i'm kind of enjoying having a goal hiatus, in the sense of swim as part of life and not have a constant weekly, daily mileage goal...

BUT i can def see the mileage and motivation slipping....
