16 Out of 23

I had set a goal back in October 2008 to break every single lifetime best time within 12 Months. It was a lofty goal, I knew that going into it. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't achieve my goal. But at the same time, I didn't really give myself enough time to ramp up my training and attack it the way I would have liked. The actual result was that I broke 16 of 23 Lifetime Best Times in 12 months. Still not too shabby. The events which I didn't achieve Lifetime Bests in are:

50 Free SCY (0.03 off)
50 Back SCY (0.56 off)
100 Back SCY (0.99 off)
200 Back SCY (5.01 off)
50 Back SCM (0.07 off)
100 Free SCM (1.33 off)
100 Back LCM (2.05 off)
200 Back LCM (no swim)

Due to scheduling issues, I sometimes only had a single chance at a few of these and in the case of the 200 Back, I didn't even have a chance to swim it. The events listed are some of the events I've swam the most in my life and therefore were the hardest to improve upon. I will continue to train and I fully intend on achieving lifetime bests in each of the above events without the 12 month deadline.
