EMU Masters Meet in the morning!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Sunday at: 1:34am (January 15th, 2012)

Since I didn't get entered in the 2012 Austin Grand Prix I'm excited at least I can swim a meet in my favorite pool.  I'll be heading to EMU in the morning to swim a SCY masters meet.  I'm looking forward to benchmarking some yards times for the first time in a few months.  As of right now I'm entered into the:

100 Fly
100 Free
50 Back
100 Back

I may go for some 50 splits in the 100 fly and 100 free simply due to scheduling of the events.  To maximize my rest inbetween events, sometimes I enter a longer event of the same stroke and notify the officals I will be touching at the 50 for a time and then continue to race. Example:

Enter the 200 Backstroke, tell the offical I'm doing a legal touch at the 50 yard mark.  I swim ALL OUT to the 50 yard mark, touch the wall on my back and finish the race slowly while keeping my form and turns legal so the 50 time counts.  It's actually quite a common practice, especially if the event schedule isn't ideal for your event lineup.

Looking forward to a great meet and to catch up with friends!
