I've got A LOT of work to do

That swim embarrassed me.

I was out in a 27.81 and I was holding back a little for the last 50 meters. I brought it home in a 32.84. Its difficult for me to grasp how absolutely horrible that time is for me. I finished in a 59.65 which is 2.65 seconds off my best.

My legs entirely failed me. I had NOTHING left in my legs at the 75 meter mark. I couldn't even feel them. I even thought about just not moving them anymore since they were probably slowing me down. I'm scared to watch the video.

On the other hand the rest of my race felt pretty good! My start was awesome! I was smooth on my way out (first 50 meters) and didn't feel like I was bobbing up and down like I normally do. My arm strokes felt good and I was catching water. Once again... Speed is not my problem. Its endurance.

I'm sorry if my swim disgraced anybody I'm related to!
