SLOW 100 LCM Fly
SLOW 100 LCM Fly
1 hour after a lifetime best in my 100m Free, I was ready to swim the 100m Fly. I thought that with a nice time drop in my 100 Free, I would have a good chance at a solid 100m Fly. My first 50 meters felt pretty good, I was out in a 25.90 and had my typical slow turn. My underwater kicking was ok, I could feel my legs falling apart already. I had a good breakout but the last 35 meters was ugly, I just felt like I was sucking water the entire time. I know I was catching a wake from the 55.xx swimmer in lane 5 but I must not have been lifting my head far enough out of the water to actually breathe. I touched in a disapointing 57.44, a full 1.14 seconds slower than London or Minnesota. I'm nowhere near a trials cut in the event. At 55.29, I would have to drop a second off my lifetime best and 2 seconds off my time today. Not looking good.
I'm back in the top 16 this evening so I have one more shot.
