9Up Early and Ready for Day 4!

I got a good night's rest and I'm ready for the last day of the USMS Long Course National Championship meet! Up until yesterday it's been a mixed bag in regard to my performances. I started out with a good 50 Fly on Thursday but Friday was a disappointing 100 Free and 100 Back. Saturday started out bad with the 800 Free Relay and 400 Medley Relay but ended great with the 400 Free Relay and 200 Medley relay which earned us a World Record and me a Personal World Record in the 50 Backstroke.
I've really enjoyed Indianapolis this week! I'm excited to return and explore more of the city! I'm really feeling motivated to swim well today and finish off a great week here. I'm going to shave down again before going to the pool around 11:00am to warm up for the 50 Free. There is a 2 hour break afterward before the 50 Backstroke. I feel relaxed about both events because I feel like I've achieved something already. I broke the Masters 25-29 World Record yesterday, there is no pressure to do it today, but I think I have an even better swim in me somewhere. 26.64 is by no means the fastest I can swim that race. I was really slowing down by the 35 meter mark, if I can get through it without slowing down as much, I truly think I can tag a 25 second swim.
I'm headed to the pool soon to support my fellow Michigan teammates and warmup for the 50 free!
