I just returned from the Dearborn meet, it turned out to be a beautiful day after some slight showers during warmup. I had a few solid performances, but I was there to have fun and be social. It was great to see everyone! Below are a few of my times (from what I can remember). These are approximated because the meet was a "time your own meet" style and my official times will be an average of three hand times.
50 Back LCM: 27.5
50 Fly LCM: 25.8
50 Corkscrew LCM: 28.9 (I've always wanted to try this!)
100 Free: 55.7
50 Free: 24.4
Overall I'm very pleased, it was a fun meet and I got to try the 100 Free LCM. I had some trouble in the 50 Back due to the fact that I was outdoors. I couldn't get my bearings on anything besides the laneline next to me causing me to swim too close to it and I bounced off it a few times. There were also no starting pads which I usually use to get some traction on my backstroke start. I did however like the pool and facility. Skip Thompson did a great job organizing the meet and the picnic following the meet! Good job to all the masters swimmers!
