As it turns out my 100 Back LCM time of 57.00 is faster than the FINA Masters 25-29 World Record time but it doesn't count because it was performed under a USA-S sanctioned meet, therefore it only counts as a Masters American Record. The records book will now read, World Record: 57.45 (Jon Winter), American Record: 57.00 (Kevin Doak).

I time trialed the 50 back for the heck of it before I left Ohio State. I got a best time of 26.75, but I was hoping for a low 26 considering I was a 27.26 for my first 50 of my fastest 100 back yesterday.

The Ohio State Grand Prix went well overall, I dropped 2 tenths in my 50 free from a 24.47 to a 24.24. I had a bad 100 back prelims with a 59.18, my best was a 58.54. Finals went much better with a lifetime best and Olympic Trial cut 57.00!

This weekend is the Grand Prix. Here is the link to the Ohio State Grand Prix site:

The site features live results and the whole shebang.

I downloaded the psych sheet today for the Ohio State Grand Prix meet this weekend, it looks like it will be a very fast meet. I'm seeded 72nd in the 100 backstroke (16th with my LCM time) and 115th in the 50 free (52nd with my LCM time). Both events are on Saturday so if I'm lucky I'll make it back in the 100 back due to the fact that it's top 24 which include the bonus heat. I'll need to be very fast in the morning or I'll be watching the 100 back from the deck.
