2015 Milford Meltdown meet
2015 Milford Meltdown meet
Milford always puts on a great short course meters meet. It's well attended and hosted in an above average facility. Admittedly the free food and beverages don't hurt this review! I showed up at the last second to deck enter. "The last second" turned into 6 minutes after the deck registration ended. I received permission to beg to office staff to accept my registration. They took pity on me and allowed me in the meet. I signed up for the 50/100 Free, 50 Back, 50 Fly, 100 IM. It was a full lineup for my current training schedule. After a brief warmup and some test starts, I was ready to race. First up was my 50 Fly. I had some decent competition. It was a sloppy race, hitting the wall in a 26.82. A month ago I was a 26.79, a negligble difference but still a far cry from my 2008 time of 25.05 or even my LCM time in 2012 of 24.59. Other times were:
100 IM SCM: 1:03.44 (27.87)
50 Back SCM: 28.35
100 Free SCM: 57.85 (26.98)
50 Free SCM: 25.17
I'm still encouraged at my motivation level and I'm committed to improving. I have about a month before the state meet. I'm planning on some times faster than last year.
