SMART Time Trial
100 back - 57.22
100 IM - 57.18
50 free - 23.10
considering there were no blocks .. i'm very pleased. my backstroke should be well under 55 by the end of the season. the 100 IM as well :-D
GCSU Swim Meet
It wasn't stellar or surprising, but it was good to go out and swim for real. none of the times made me feel like i've got a fast season on the horizon, but i can't let this one carry too much weight.
let's see 1:52 in my 200 free isn't what i was looking for. it's faster than the masters meet, but not good enough. i'm swimming it again at UGA.
i need to go sub 1:50 just once ... so i know it's working.
22.30 in my 50 free
and 24.50 in my 50 fly
aren't bad this early in the season. i'm still slipping ... back to work there. i think i just need to focus more and work harder when i'm sprinting. it feels like, for all my endurance work, i'm not gaining any real strength/stamina in my sprints ... and that's unacceptable.
as for the meet. lots of fun, loads of lactic acid, back to work.
i'll do a personal update some time soon.
for now, i'll just say that i think watching House makes me think too much ... lol
