Just did not feel any strength again today but times seemed about normal. You can see the differnce in the strength between the right and left arm, the funny thing is I am right handed so I would think the right arm would be faster but it is not. 5x100@2:00 Free pull to kick 5x100@1:45 as 50 Free/50 Back 5x100@1:30 Free kick w/fins held 1:25's 500 Fly kick w/fins vary the positions by 100 2x500@8:00 Free w/paddles & bouy went 6:56 & 6:41 5x50@1:05 Free right arm only w/paddle 5x50@1:00 Free left arm only w/paddle 500 Free Easy Total 4000 yards

After the 1500 Free on Friday, 5 events and 2 relays on Saturday and now 5 events and 1 really today, I AM TIRED! Today I started today off with the 50 Free in a 32.42 which is only .3 seconds off my best and with a missed turn that must be were I lost it. The 200 Back was my focus for today, I was trying to break 3:00 but it was not to be, did do a PB by 2 seconds but 3:02.84 was not what I wanted. As I have said before I will take a PB were ever I can get it. Yet another PB for the 100 Free in 1:11.84, once again issues with the far wall seemed to plague my sprints. One end I jammed and the other end I am not close enough for a good push off. I guess since I am not used to 25 meter pools that could be the reason. As I am huffing and puffing I am getting ready for yet another PB in the 50 Back in 42.26. Next up was the Womens 200 Medley Relay in which I was doing the 50 Back and can you say yet another PB in 42.00. The final swim of the day was the 400 Free, I have to say I just ran out of steam on this one. 5:40.00 which is off by 8 seconds but at this point I think this was more of a painful warm down. Total yards today 2500.
Official time for the 1500 Free yesterday was 21:46.49 3rd place. Today went well even though I was somewhat tired. Started with the 100 IM in 1:24.35 this was my second best time for 3rd place. I still have an issue with the transition from Fly to Back. For some reason by back is so different as an event than in an IM. Next was the 50 Breast, just a filler event but did really well with a PB here in :47.45 for 4th place. The event I really wanted to focus on today was the 100 Back in 1:26.19 another PB for 2nd place. Felt solid, hopefully I can put a great 200 Back time together tomorrow. Did the 50 Fly in a relay where we came in 1st. I really felt like I was only giving 80% on this race, since I knew I had the 50 Fly and 200 Free and another relay left. The 50 Fly was equal to my best in 37.82 for 2nd place and was definitely faster than my relay effort. In the 200 Free I went for it and probably took it out too fast but still did great with 2nd place even with just dragging it home. The final swim was the womens 200 Free Relay were I was the anchor and did good considering Kristin and I just finished the 200 had 2 heats to rest and were back up for the relay. We took 1st in this. Total of 1900 yards today

Tonight was the 1500 Free, on something like that being off my time from last year by 10 seconds is really nothing. It felt good, my shoulders (yes both) are alittle sore but that is ok. I was the slowest one in my heat but I knew that going into it. There was really no one my speed to race since I was a minute slower than the rest of my heat. I don't have the official time since I did not stay till the last heat, but the watch time was 21:46.? After I had to take my son to a haunted house he heard about from one of the kids at the pool, then it was off to Subway to get something to eat and now BED!
Mixed up in a good way though. Decided to test out all strokes, see how the shoulder is progressing. It was good at the beginning but is sore now. Will do my usual daily repair work and be good as new for tomorrow. 10x100@2:00 Free 1/2 pull 1/2 kick 5x100@1:45 Free kick w/fins 10x50@1:00 alt by 50 Breast pull/Fly swim w/fins (get the dolphin in the breast) 5x100@2:00 Back w/fins underwater recovery 10x50@1:00 alt by 50 Free/Back descended the free's from :42to:38 and held 47's on Back 200 Free EASY get out early to beat the kids to the shower!

Today I just tried to stay loose and begin working on my backstoke since this coming weekend my main focus will be Free and Back.
