Lifetime best in the 100 LCM Free!

After a long drive and a hectic morning getting to the pool, I arrived with 20 minutes before my 100m Free.  The competition pool closed just as I was walking on deck.  I met up with two other teammates and did about a 250y warmup.  I knew that wasn't enough warmup but I didn't have much of a choice, I didn't plan well enough to get here on time.  I dried off and sat down for 15 mins prior to my race.  Surprisingly I was ready to race when heat 4 was called up.  I had my lifetime best of 53.65 in my sights today.  I was out in a 25.18 and touched in a lifetime best of 53.23!  I dropped .43 seconds off of my Minnesota time!  I know I have more time to drop in the event, and I'm still unshaved and untapered.  The tough kick sets really took a toll on me, my legs really fell apart at the end of my race.  This is not a very fast meet, I made it back in the consolation finals in 21st place.  I swim it again tonight!
