My 50 fly was good with a 33.89. My best is only a 33.77 so that is a sucess for me. The 100 free i didn't want to get wet again so i didn't warm up for it. But I did better than i did 4 weeks ago with a 1:06.48. I know what I need to work on and I do like long course better so I am ready to work for Omaha. Total 1000 yards
My 50 Free was not a good time but it was a good swim. I missed my turn just barely getting my right toes on the wall. I just dolphin kicked as hard as I could and still broke 30 with a 29.89. The 200 Fly was great 3:11.?? And I took 10th. My relays did great especially the womens free relay. My splits were both low 29's and after have done all of my swims in back to back events. Over all a good day. Total 1350 yards
Had a great day today. My second fastest masters 100 Fly 1:22.65 and lead off my free relay with a 28.69 also my second fastest as a masters swimmer! Thank you Leslie! Tomorrow is my roughest day with 4 back events 50 free, 200 fly, 50 free in 2 relays. Total 1350 yards
Yesterday I swam at the aquatic center just to loosen up before the drive, went an easy 700 yards but felt like garbage still. Of course the pool was warm too. Got in at the pool in Greensboro and did an easy 500 and felt much better than the morning. Today was the start of the meet and I had a lot of challenges to over come. Got a 500 warm up, then came the swim i felt like it was going to be bout 23 or 24 minutes but to my surprise I saw 22:12.55. This is better than I thought I could do with my change in training. Did a 500 warm down then counted for Tank and my pecs were sore so I did an additional 200 in the warm pool. Followed by a hot shower. Total 2850 yards

Still not feeling great, left shoulder is a little impinged if I move wrong. I did some start and my last one of fly actually felt more normal but that didn't come till number 8.
