What a great day to do a long course meters swim!

3 Events:

50 Free

So my left arm seems to go a little wonky, as I'm getting tired, which is something I am going to definitely work on.  Also Coach Paul said, "I had to do a double take, you were going so fast."  :)  I ended up placing third with an official time of 38.05.  It really makes my goal of swimming 50 yards free in 30 seconds flat seem doable.

50 Back

Holding steady with a 45.85 coming in second.

400 Free

Placed 1st with a 7:02.07!!  I dropped 22 seconds off my best time!  I am super happy with this swim although it as said that I looked pissed the entire time.  Right as I was stepping up on the blocks my goggles broke.  The small plastic piece that keeps the straps tightened broke off within seconds of the start.  I tried to wedge the goggles deep into my eye sockets but as suspected, my left lense filled up with water on the start.  On my second lap, I pulled them around my neck and swam out the rest of the race.  I'm pretty sure that if I didn't have a goggle malfunction, then my time would have been under 7 minutes.  So that is what I'm shooting for at the state meet at the end of July.  Here are my splits:

1:39.19
3:25.45
5:15.32
7:02.07   meaning that my 100's were consistant on the 1:39.19
                                                                                 1:46.26
                                                                                 1:49.87
                                                                                 1:46.75                                                  

Afterwards, we all went out to celebrate at Red, White, and Brew!
