Mental Prep: Before The Beep With Ashley Twichell<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Shoshanna Rutemiller<\/span><\/p>\n
USA Swimming\u2019s Ashley Twichell has been chasing the Olympic dream for over a decade. Last summer at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, she finally earned her place on the Olympic team by finishing sixth overall in the 10-kilometer open water event. Twichell was over the moon about qualifying! Her family flew in to witness the big race and cheer her on, even though it was halfway across the world.<\/p>\n
In the wake of her accomplishment, Twichell started ramping up her preparation\u2014both mentally and physically\u2014for competition on the world stage. And then the COVID-19 global pandemic struck, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed more than a year to July 2021. Twichell and several of her teammates were at the Olympic Training Center when the news hit and were told that they all had to head home\u00a0 and cut their training short.<\/p>\n
\u201cThings started to evolve pretty quickly at the Olympic Training Center,\u201d she shared. \u201cThe situation was changing day to day. When we learned the Olympics would be postponed, I was disappointed. I was looking forward to retiring at the end of the Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Disappointment is a good word to describe the world\u2019s feelings right now. However, Twichell chose not to wallow in her emotions, but instead to look at the extra year as a gift. She now has the opportunity to spend another year competing in the sport that she loves.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s easy now to say, \u2018Oh, there\u2019s 16 months between now and the Olympics\u2014I don\u2019t have to sleep as much, and I can eat what I want,\u201d says Twichell. \u201cBut sleep really helps to regulate your mood, and maintaining a daily structure is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, many Olympic qualifiers and hopefuls have lost access to the pools in which they train daily. Twichell admits that it\u2019s easy to feel lost as an athlete and wonder about your purpose if you can\u2019t train. Instead, many athletes are relying heavily on dryland training to keep active. Twichell herself has started using her Peloton bike\u2019s virtual classes\u2014really pushing herself because she doesn\u2019t have to worry about being sore in the pool afterward!<\/p>\n
To find out what else Ashley Twichell is doing to keep beep-ready during lockdown,<\/strong>

\nby David Rieder<\/strong>

\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nDuring the Olympic campaign of 2000, Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres\u2014complete opposites out of the pool, but with few differences as competitors\u2014were engaged in a friendly, but not-so-easy rivalry\u2014one that brought out the best in both swimmers.<\/p>\n

\nCOVID-19 isn\u2019t the first pandemic disease to have brought the world of competitive swimming to a halt, and the 2020 Olympic Games are not the first to be postponed or canceled. This is the story of the years between 1914 and 1918, when the world was suddenly and unexpectedly turned upside down by events not so different from what our sport is experiencing today.<\/p>\n
