Weekend

I took Saturday off from training so I could be rested for a swim meet on Sunday. It was a pretty good meet for me with 2 of my best times that really matter.

Sunday
1650 yard Free 25:03.79 9 seconds better than my 1500m free (1640yd) from a few weeks ago.
Went fairly well. Started a little harder than usual and then maintained pace through the middle 1000 yards. I finished strong but still slower than my goal of 25:00. I think I can go under 25:00 at state meet in about 6 weeks.

200 yard Free 2:38 1 second faster than my best.
I was put in a heat with a lot faster swimmers and they took off from me really quick. I stuck to my plan of swimming the first 100 quick, the next 50 as hard as I could and then the last 50 with whatever I had left.

100 yard Free 1:11
I totally blew the last turn, allmost hit the wall with my head. Don't know how I missed it and probably spent a second and a half on the wall :(

100 yard Back 1:38
Just for fun cuz I didn't want to swim the 50 free. It was between the 100 and the 500 so I didn't put much emphasis on it.

500 yard free 7:16
Just off my best time of 7:15 but it was the last event of the day and felt pretty good. Blew a couple of turns in the beginning but oh well. Karen swam next to me and was really fast.
