I was trying again for the 50 Backstroke Masters 25-29 World Record on Sunday. I set it the day before at 26.64 and just missed lowering it again with this swim at 26.69. I still can't believe I'm a world record holder in a swimming event! Is it an overall "world record", heck no! But it's still really empowering to be able to say that I hold a "World Record" in something! The fact that I went faster this year in a low-tech suit than I did last year in a Speedo LZR means a lot to me. I'm excited to get back to training and hopefully drop even more time!
