I received an email back from the Meet Director of a LCM meet hosted by Bulldog Aquatic Club at EMU on May 3-4th. He let me know there is still room in the meet. I'm unofficially entered in the 50 free, 100 back, and 200 back. I'm excited to swim my first LCM Eastern Meet. The best part is that my little cousin Derik will be swimming at the meet as well since it's primarily an age group meet.

Today I practiced with Eastern, that was a good change of pace, thanks to Coach Linn for welcoming me at his practice. More later.

I swam late last night. I was running late and only had 45 minutes to swim before they turned off the lights at 9pm in the natatorium. I really wanted to get in 3,000 meters which I normally take over an hour to swim. I decided to do 6 x 500's on the 7.5 minute backstroke. I don't normally do distances that long during a set, but wanted to reach my 3,000 meter mark to stay on track with my training. They only reason I'm writing this is because it was during this set that I realized I have the ideal coach for my situation.

A friend Dave, who used to swim for Toledo and now coaches told me about a Long Course Meters (LCM) USA Swimming meet at EMU on May 3-4th. It looks like it might be good LCM practice. I emailed the meet director to see if I can still enter. I'll swim the 100 Back, 200 Back and 50 Free if they will still let me in. We shall see.

I want to thank a few more supporters this weekend, Thanks to Krista, My Uncle Rick, Cousin Chelsea, and my friends Kim and Meredith for coming to the meet. Thank you for your support! Also, thank you to everybody who has sent me messages through the website, I really enjoy reading your feedback :)

No need to take a day off, I'm back in the pool today along with doing dryland and weight training. I love every minute of it, I'm getting in even better shape, feel healthy, and having a blast.

Day 2 of the Michigan Masters State Meet went great. All swims were the fastest I've been since college. Videos are encoding now, they will automatically show up on the video page.

Today I competed in the 2008 Michigan Masters State Meet Day 1.

Morning Session:

I just got the heads up that Matthew Marshall broke my 50 back SCY National Record today at 23.03 (I was a 23.06).

It will be mine again... oh yes... it will be mine.
