That was all I could do. The lap pool was closed and I had to swim around noodlers in the open area since the 3 lanes in that pool were in use. They don't swim more than 2 to a lane.

Hopefully they will get the lap pool chemical problem corrected today.

Did well Sunday too. Broke 30 in the 50 Free finally, the last two meets were dreadful but this was good. Had a strong 100 back and 100 Fly. Was quiet happy over all.

Today should have been a recovery day but since I was feeling good I took advantage of it.

I know I will feel this in Tuesday morning but for now all is GOOD!

Started off with a great 200 Fly today, I had not broken 3:15 in a long time but today I went 3:12.81. My 500 Free was better than last time but still not what I wanted to do 6:33.62.

Overall a good start. Up for tomorrow I have 100 Back, 100 Fly and 50 Free. I am really looking forward to the 100 Fly!

I am just not recovering well.
