Lifetime Best! 50 Fly SCM!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Saturday at: 6:35pm (October 25th, 2008)
After a disapointing 50 Free at 23.8 I was feeling warmed up. I had a good 30 minutes of rest and went a 25.05! I dropped .07 seconds off my best time in the event! I'm slowly achieving my goal of best times in every event. This makes 2 out of 23 events!

Now, my rules stipulate that I drop the event till my overall goal is achieved so I can focus on the remaining events, however I might do the 50 Fly SCM again because I know I'm much faster than a 25.05. Also, I looked up the national record last night and it was a 24.98, so I feel like I can drop another tenth and snag that one.

The race itself was good, but once again, I was choking on water, taking too many breaths and therefore wasting time. I need to practice not sucking down so much water during all out butterfly. I'm gonna relax today, upload my videos and get ready for the 100 IM, 100 Back and 100 Free tomorrow. I might time trial the 50 Back if I feel up to it. My fastest Backstroke races are always time trials after I'm warmed up.

Special thanks to Nadine Day, and John Morris for videotaping me today!
