I was very wrong. Lifetime best in 100 Fly LCM by 3.48 seconds!

I was very wrong.  Lifetime best in 100 Fly LCM by 3.48 seconds!

I had a FANTASTIC swim this morning!  I dropped my lifetime best from a 59.87 to a 56.39!  It was a HUGE time drop.  In my mind, I knew I would be pleased with anything 58.xx but I knew that since I dropped around 4 seconds in my 100 back since training with CW that a similar time drop wouldn't be out of the question in the 100 fly.  I took it out in a 25.3, my plan had been to take it out in 25 mid... I never saw a clock but I knew I was right on track by the way it felt.  I had a poor turn and poor underwater kicks but I managed to bring it home in 31 seconds... not an impressive back half at all but about what I expected.

I had been seeded 98th out of 124 swimmers heading into prelims.  Tonight I return for a "C Final" swim ranked 21st out of 24 swimmers that made it back!  I'm VERY proud of myself and I'm excited to swim tonight.  I'm unsure if I'll be able to drop any more time but I'll give it my all.  As far as I'm concerned, the trip to Minneapolis is already worth it.  I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from fellow swimmers and my coaches.  Everybody thought it was a great swim!

I'm feeling good and ready for my first finals swim EVER in the 100 Fly LCM!
