    Missed my 400 IM heat
    I screwed up
    Misguesstimated the IM timeline
    I'm bummed & pissed

    Was in vendor village changing & like a dumb ass, I got my registration bag, thinking I had time

    i walked on deck right as heat 13 finished, Then ran whistling & yelling trying to make it, trying to get them to delay the heat a bit but was on the opposite end as my heat dove in, with lane 2 empty,

    bummer, I shoulda been earlier or jumped in,

    But at least I my time from zones held up in my age group & i'll be fresh & agitated for the 50 fly

    50 fl
    Went 24.13 got 2nd went 23.91 at zones
    lifted my head to breathe right before turn & had a long glide touch
    Bobby Patten got 1st 23.78 in a diff heat

    Josh Davis blazed 22.2
    Tyler 23.67
    Mike Varozza 23.68
    Bartee 25.5

    Swam mixed free relay with
    bess, Mary & Ed
    Lead off in 22.24, Didn't have a good turn and streamline kick off it
    Pretty close to my zones time
