Progress...

Last week I set a goal of lowering every single best time I have recorded for myself within the next 12 months. This goal encompasses 23 total events from all three courses (SCY, SCM, LCM). Yesterday I dropped my lifetime best time in the 100 IM from a 53.39 to a 52.63. What's crazy is that I dropped 95% of that on the first half of the race. The Fly and Backstroke legs of the race are my best out of all four. I dropped from a 23.59 to a 22.88 split on the first half. I really thought I had maximized that portion of my race. Considering how sloppy the race was, I'm confident I can lower my time even more in the future. Excluding the state meet, I will now shelf the 100 IM SCY and focus on my other events till I reach my goal.

I now have 22 other events to improve upon. My next meet is a Short Course Meters (SCM) at IUPUI on the 25th and 26th. I haven't decided on which event's I'll be swimming.
