50.90 in the 100 Back

I won my age group in the 100 Backstroke with one of the fastest times of the meet. The three men that went faster had full body tech suits on. I was so relieved to hear Mark Gill say over the microphone before the 200 Breaststroke "This is the last event ever for tech suits". I think I was the only person cheering.

The race went pretty well based on the fact that I was unshaved, untapered, and unrested. I wore my Speedo Brief Endurance Suit and no cap. I think my 50.90 represented a best-case-scenario for me this weekend.
