When was the last time someone evaluated your performance? I spend a lot of time looking at statistics on my swimming, cycling and running. But statistics don't tell the whole story and tonight I was filmed swimming under water. I've been working very hard at improving my swimming and my times are improving and I am becoming a stronger swimmer. So tonight when I received the feedback it was like a body blow. The mistake I thought I had eradicated was still there.
The stats didn't tell me that nor did my own perception of what my stroke looked like. However by the end of the session I had clocked some good times and felt strong which made me think, how much better would I be if I could sort out this problem? So on Friday when I am completing a timed continual 3,000m swim my attention will be on sorting out this flaw in my swimming stroke. This will make me so much more efficient as a swimmer which will allow me to exit the water after 3,800m less tired and ready to take on the 180 km bike and 42km run on 19 May.
So my question to you is, when was the last time someone paid close attention to the task you were completing and offered constructive feedback? It could make you better, faster or more efficient so give it a go!
