A good swim, not a great swim

I had a decent time trial 50 free at 23.94. I had hoped to drop time but it just wasn't in me today. I just barely slipped on the start which could have been the .18 second difference between this swim and my last performance of 23.76.

Overall I'm ok with my swim. It was a good learning experience. I know I need to bring a small towell to dry off the block before all important races. I really need to do some test starts, both freestyle and backstroke during most practices. This week has left my back muscles sore from all the practice starts I've done to warm up for my races. I should be training at least a little freestyle, my sprints feel like they could be a little more polished.

I'm satisfied with my race. It was the 2nd fastest I've ever swam the 50 free
