another great workout! temp must be cooling a little more overnight, and they must be running the aerator, as the water wasn't too horrible.
we had myself and 2 of our other core swimmers, and a guy who coaches the kids was with us too. always good to have others push you.

since I'm registered for the 50 back in the meet next week, I asked the coach to look at my back starts. I do them so rarely... between her and the guy who coaches kids, I got tons of great feedback. I really just don't want to embarrass myself too much. I could just do a push off if I feel that uncomfortable, or just scratch. but it is my last event, and just a 50 LCM, so no turns, just a start and a bunch of swimming.

speaking of the meet, the zone leaders sent out this message today:

Swimmers - each and everyone of you has enjoyed competing in Masters meets in the past and I bet you look forwards to many more in the future. It has been a goal to provide quality venues for swimmers of all abilities to participate in and enjoy.

To continue to provide fantastic places to compete at such as the World Class Texas A&M University Natatorium, an indoor 50 meter pool, with an additional six lane 25 yard warm up/cool down pool and plenty of air conditioning and seating, we need your participation. SO, if you have not yet entered or have been on the fence about entering the LC Zones meet next week in College Station, PLEASE, make the jump, enter the meet and come on over for a great time!

We have swimmers of ALL ages and abilities entered and we want YOU to be one of them. My goal is 250 swimmers and we need 80+ more to get there.

For once, I actually registered and am planning to go
