Saturday, November 5th - Small Swim Meet

Today my swim team had a swim meet up in Santa Clarita. The pool was 25m (SCM). Here is a list of what I swam and the times:

200 free relay - 50 free (don't know split)
100 breast : 1:18.06
100 back : 1:09
200 back : 2:33
200 medley relay - led off 50 back (31.2).

So I'm not sure my exact times since I didn't pick up the results. This was a tiny meet and there was no backstroke competition. I finished about 20 meters ahead of the next person in the 100 back and about 40 meters in the 200 back. Good for the ego I guess. The swims themselves were nothing spectacular. Since I am just getting back to being motivated in swimming, I don't feel like I have the background yet to produce good in season times yet. Hopefully by the meet in December, that will change. I went a lot faster last year in the 100 back at this meet. 1:06.7 and this year I went 1:09.0. But I didn't really push it and my legs from running so much are going to make swimming fast difficult for a little bit. The 100 breast I had no idea what to compare it to, so I will be happy with it. The 200 back was ok. I really felt my legs hurt due to running. But a 2:33 is ok. I went around a 2:31 last year and that was only a few weeks after IGLA so not too bad. My 50 back at the end of the day was 31.2. Last year I went 31.8 so that is good. I went 30.97 a few weeks ago with more rest. So with it being the end of the meet and going that close to my 50 back time, I'm happy with it.

I ate a lot of crap on Saturday.
