100 Backstroke Goal Achieved

On my way to the starting blocks I told my friends Adam and Dan that "I'll be happy with anything under 52.00".  Minutes later I won the 30-34 age group with a 51.94.  Certainly not an impressive swim in the big scheme of things.  However, considering the blazing sun in my eyes (during backstroke), my bad sunburn and other outdoor swimming distractions, I'm ok with a 51.94 for today.  I was in and out of the meet in under an hour.  I got way too much sun yesterday so I'll be staying indoors as much as possible.  I saw some old friends and met some new people today.  I love Masters Swimming!
