I really did it!

I'm still sort of in shock of what I've accomplished.  I dropped a full 4 seconds in 3 (broken) months of training in my 100 Backstroke.  I balanced life and training while joining a team, relocating cities and keeping up with work.  I set a goal of making a trial cut before the end of the summer.  This was the last meet I could swim the 100 Backstroke LCM at.  I prepared as best as I could while maintaining my workload, traveled out to Palo Alto, California and made it happen.  I achieved my goal.  I have about 11 months of training before the 2012 Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska.  I will be setting a time based goal soon.  I will develop a game plan on how to achieve it.  I hope Club Wolverine is part of that plan.  At some point in the next month, I will inquire upon my future with the club.  I am officially ranked 43rd in the country in the 100m Backstroke.  I feel I have demonstrated in a brief amount of time what I'm capable of with just a little training.    I hope the staff at Club Wolverine sees the same potential I do.

I'm Ready.
