100m Freestyle Time Trial

I chose to sign up for a time trial today since I didn't get to swim the 100 Free in the meet.  After making the 100 back final I considered cancelling my time trial but I opted to swim it anyway to give my teammate Roman some company in the event.  I swam both of my other events in an older (but brand new) Arena suit but chose to swim my time trial in a worn out Speedo LZR jammer.  I think this was a poor choice.  The suit, even when it was new, would seemingly channel water down my backside. It felt like I was dragging a parachute.  My first 50m was solid at a 24.95 but died at 75m and struggled to get home in a 53.41, a little less than two tenths off my lifetime best.  I did however achieve my goal of pacing my teammate.  He was out in 24.96 but got home in a much better 26.55 for a 51.51.  Very impressive swim!
