I'm pretty busy getting out of meet and getting home. Now I've got to go to work. I will do a bigger meet write up after I get a friend's film of my races, and I have a little more time. I didn't always have the prettiest race, but I gave each one all that I had. All were best times for me this season...

50 br -- 27.69
100br -- 1:02:67
100im -- 55:68
200im -- 2:02.94
50fly -- 24.26

Special shout-out to sweet_wtr! She is a swimming machine. It was great to meet her and have her cheering for me the entire meet.

Seeing these swim nationals posts has me working on my pool swimming skills. Usually I have a poor flip turn, and breath in and out of it. My flip turn has me facing the bottom of the pool when i push off, so i was doing a flip twist instead of twisting on the push. Rectified that...starting to take. Stopped breathing into the turn, next up is loosing the breath out of the turn. Also, bringing a spare pair of goggles for the last 2 weeks finally paid off...strap snapped and I had the second pair all ready to go. Was actually glad they finally snapped, as I could go back to one pair on deck.

Times all approximate, as I was squinting at a far away wall clock...with foggy lenses...pace clock is broke...again. Last time it broke it took about a month to replace it. Must have bought a cheap one...it was this winter that it got replaced. Maintenance guy came out, messed around with it. I think he tried replacing the battery. Looked at me, shrugged, said: sorry...it wont work...
