Why do you swim?
2011 totally changed my expectations.I always considered the 100 M BR my best event ,but that I was versatile enough to swim the 50 and 200 BR well.
I had been very happy with 2:52s in the 200 LCM BR for several years, being quite proud of myself for not slowing down.I thought if I swam a perfect race I could break 2:52,maybe even swim a 2:51.5. I went 2:50.44 at Auburn.Suddenly the 200 BR is my best event(at least that was my best swim) and I am re-evaluating my limits.It also has caused my to ask "what is my goal now that I have exceeded my goal."
2012 will have the answer to that question.
I plan to work harder,get my head position better,get stronger ,get more streamlined and have another breakthrough.
And, that, King Frog, was my favorite race of the year to watch:

Good luck with your 2012 goals!
