Provincials today. 5 events, total 300m. I don't have the exact times yet but roughly...

50 fly 28.2
50 free 26.8
50 breast 39 low. (I was just happy to get under 40, I'm a terrible breaststroker)
100IM 1:07.7
50 back (immediately following the 100iM, I just swam it for the team points) 34 something - just cruised it though.

Provincial record for 45-49 in all but the breaststroke. I was kinda expecting the fly, free and back, but I didn't think I'd break the IM record. That was a nice bonus.

Great times, congrats on the records!

Impressive! Nice work!

Ran yesterday 7.5 miles, bumped into my sister half way into the run - down at the beach. No ocean swims this weekend as we had a bit of rain... in California.. can you believe it? And, the runoff raised the bacteria count to unhealthy. Surfers were out, though.

This AM:
1000s 12:41
5x100 various kicks
10x100@1:45 alt IM/fr

2500 sc yardages

Really nice times, Jason. I just can't believe you didn't throw in a 400, 800, 1500... I mean, anyone can go fast for 50 meters. That IM is pretty cool tho.

I have just traveled for three weeks straight, and fell off the swim wagon. I did manage to get more running in than ever. I am struggling to swim a 1:22 pace. Yikes. I worked out x15.2 swims of 4,000m workouts and i'll be back on my FLOG pace - that's three weeks of a lot of swimming, and five weeks to IM70.3 Victoria!

Yeah, provincials was fun! It's such a compressed format, and I wanted to swim 5 events for the team points, that I was essentially forced into swimming 50's. 2nd overall in the 50 fly, and 100IM, 4th in the 50 free, not sure about the others. Won my AG in everything, although in the back and breast that wasn't hard. All I had to do was not get dq'd.

I get to swim outside all this week, which is nice. Back in Bermuda for a few days on family duties. Just heading to the new national sports centre pool now for a swim. Yesterday took my wife snorkelling, water was a bit rough for her, so I bodysurfed for 45 minutes instead.
