19Happy with my times!

For being tired, wearing a brief suit and no cap.. I'm really happy with my times. I set a mental goal of 25.00 in the 50 Free and 1:01.00 in the 100 Fly.
I had a solid 50 free, my turnover did suffer the last 10 meters but I held it together and touched in a 24.88. Not a groundbreaking time but I achieved my goal, and it was better than last week at World Champ Trials.
My 100 Fly wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. I'm sure it's humorous that I'm scared of a 1 minute race but I really was before today. I had a good start and underwater kicking to 15 meters. My stroke was long and controlled the first 50 meters, I touched in a 27.68. I had a slowish turn but a good 11 meters off the wall underwater. I came up and started breathing every stroke, which I'm sure didn't help. I finished in a 1:00.99! One hundreth of a second under my goal time!
I think I can be much faster than both these times, but for a short notice meet unrested I'm satisfied with my times! Videos coming soon!
