Tied for 10th place in the 50m Back!

I'm proud to say I finished well in the 50m back tonight!  Historically I have a dificult time repeating and especially improving upon my morning swim.  Today was different.  I held back a bit on my effort during my race during finals since I fell apart so bad in the morning.  The strategy worked well and I dropped a tenth off my morning swim time of 26.83 to an improved 26.73.  Still a bit off my lifetime best of 26.64.  I'm happy with my time today but wishing it had yielded a best time.  My event was especially exciting because so many talented swimmers were in my heat.  With a 10th place prelims finish, I nearly earned a spot in the Final heat!  I was only about a tenth of a second off the top 8 heat.  50 Free, 100 Back and 50 Fly tomorrow!
