2012 USMS State Meet Day 2 - A great finish!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Sunday at: 11:18pm (March 25th, 2012)

After a very long yet positive and successful weekend, I'm very glad to be home!  The second day of the 2012 State meet went very well.  I earned 2 more lifetime best times in addition to a pool record! I came very close to my goals I set yesterday.  A recap on my goals:

100 Fly SCY: 50.5 (A 49 second swim is a bit aggressive, I'll be happy with a 50.x)
50 Back SCY: 22.5 (I want an even better swim!)
100 Back SCY: 49.5 (I want to break my own pool record!)
100 IM SCY: 51.x (I think with some improved fly and back combined with a new breaststroke and solid free, I can drop a second off my 52.64)
50 Free SCY: whatever (If I have a chance to lead off again, another 20.x would be great but I'll be pretty run down)

I knew my goals were aggressive but in hindsight, I'm very pleased with my performances:

100 Fly SCY: 49.65 (Lifetime best!)
50 Back SCY: 22.75 (a great swim)
100 Back SCY: 49.55 (a new pool record, breaking my own 2009 record of 49.84)
100 IM SCY: 52.27 (Lifetime best! DEFINITELY a 51 second swim if I made less errors, I got sloppy)
50 Free SCY: 21.15 (tired, satisfied with a low 21 swim)

I'm very pleased. Thank you to Lake Orion who always runs a great meet!
