jaadams1Got to the pool early for the team warmup:
SCY
7:30am:
600 Free
2 x 200 "IM" (Stroke down/Free back)
6 x 50 Alt. EZ/Fast CHoice of stroke @ 1:00
2 x Dive 25s
Then I left for a while (from 8:15-11:00), since they had the younger kids warmup times, plus I wasn't in the first event of the meet. It is a non-split meet, so there is lots of waiting time as well.
100 Breast - 1:08.90 was 1st place
32.4/36.5
Decent race, I ended up "kicking air" a couple of times on my first strokes after the pullout, but still managed to have a good swim.
200 IM - 2:13.23 was 3rd place
27.5/35.9/39.3/30.1
While this race was on par with my other recent 200 IM swims in meets, my backstroke just suffered badly. I was running down some people in the breaststroke, which is strange, but I'll take it.
200 Medley Relay (co-ed mix) - did Breast - went 30.3
our original backstroker got sick, so we had to sub in another girl. That's too bad, cause she's one of the fastest girls in the state, and would've got us a nice lead against the boys team from Moses Lake. I ended up with about a 3-4 second deficit when I dove in for my FIRST EVER breaststroke leg of a medley relay.I've done the other 3 strokes, just never been needed to do breast. It was fun.
200 Back - 2:20.blah-blah was 3rd
32.8/35.9/36.5/35.3
This one felt horrible, I was tired, it was a tough race for me today, like usual.
200 Fly - 2:11.xx - was 1st place
28.8/33.1/34.8/34.4
This was decent, considering how tired I was at the start. I had two boys on either side of me about 4-5 seconds back, and I keep peeking at them on the turns. Kept my 2-up, 1 down breathing pattern going, and that's actually what kept me from feeling pain.
500 Free - 5:17.98 - was 1st place
1:00.59/1:05.2/1:04.4/1:04.6/1:02.8
This came close to an even split race. It happened exactly 15 minutes after the 200 Fly, we had a 15 min. break, then I was in the 1st heat of the fast-slow seedings. I beat my previous season time from Bainbridge by 2 seconds or so, so that was good as well. It's also about 6 seconds from my masters best time.
My placings are so high in this meet because most of the fast kids in the area are either at the Husky Invite meet in Federal Way, or at the other LMSC meet on the eastern side of the LMSC. We've just got the "western" teams here this weekend.
I've got the other half of events to do tomorrow, it's gonna be tough, 2 day meets are always like that for me...these kids can recover like nothing, but usneed a little something more to bring us back. -->
