14 out of 23 Lifetime Best's in 10 Months

Posted by Kevin Doak on Monday at: 3:33pm (August 10th, 2009)
I had a great meet, achieving 4 personal lifetime best times. Checking my progress on my 12 month goal, I'm very proud of what I've accomplished. I've swam faster than EVER before 14 times in 10 months! I still have 9 lifetime bests to accomplish in 2 months. It's a bit unrealistic for a few reasons... availability of meets and current swimming ability. Here are the swims I still need to achieve:

50 Back SCY - 22.22
This will be really tough, my fastest recent time of 22.78 is still a bit away from a low 22 second swim. I think my only option will be to have a GREAT turn and underwater kicking.

100 Back SCY - 48.51
I just need a meet, I think I'm this fast right now

200 Back SCY- 1:50.09
Based on my recent meets (and apparent endurance) I'm confident I can't go a 1:50.09 right now, or anytime soon

50 Free SCY - 20.95
I just need a meet, I'm faster than this right now.

50 Breast SCY - 30.69
Just need a meet, my breaststroke is better than ever.

100 Free SCM - 51.75
This is really fast for me but I think I can get it.

50 Back SCM - 25.15
I got this one no problem, show me a SCM pool and I'll show you a sub 25.05 Masters World Record.

100 Back LCM - 57.00
I wish I could say I could swim a 56 second 100 backstroke but a 59.05 was the best I could muster at Long Course Nationals, I'm far away from going this fast again anytime soon.

200 Back LCM - 2:16.17
I didn't get a chance to swim this at Long Course Nationals due to time constraints of the meet. I know I can swim faster than a 2:16, just need a place and time to do it.
