I Swam in the 2012 Olympic Pool!

I'm trying to stay positive. I swam my 100m backstroke in 57.73, I took it out in a 27.28 and brought it home in a 30.45. It was the third fastest time I've swim the event without a tech suit. As much as I told myself not to read to much into my performance today, I'm disappointed. The fact that my swim at the pro meet a few months ago was a 58.0 unshaved and untapered, a 0.30 second drop with rest and a shave is not impressive at all. Regardless, I accomplished what I wanted to and my swimming performance was in no way embarrassing. I moved up in the rankings and took 39th overall. It was a solid swim and I learned from it.

One topic I can be proud of is my race execution. I did a TON of things right. My start was great, breakouts were good and I had a faster turn. I only brushed a laneline once with my hand, for somebody who has generally poor lane position awareness, that was a great improvement! The experience was everything I hoped and expected it to be. 50 free and 100 fly on Thursday
