arrived at 8:00 am

felt good in warm up

decided to not swim the 4 x 50 medley relay, our chances to break record was iffy plus I wanted to be fresh for the 100 IM

wore a brand new Blue Seventy Nero Comp
which I love & will sorely miss if (when) it's banned for masters

splits 27.02 33.13
45 - 49 MEN'S WR was 1:00.29

bk to br turn coulda been better
SDKs Fl 8 , bk 10, not many on FR
really hurt bad glad it wasn't a 200

100 BR SKIPPED

50 Breaststroke
went 31.50
swam right next to tyler "the miler" blessing
he went 31.6 so he told me he got razzed
I'm just glad he swam a 400 fr before the 50 br
