Just back from my first ever swim meet. Swam the 50y & 200y free. The best I ever did in training for 50y was 54 sec., today 51.91. I swam the 200 at my everyday pace not wanting to stress myself, 4:27.43. I've never done a 200 even in practice except on the way to 500 or 1000. I was happy with that and was probably even first in my AG since I saw no other 65-69 in that event. Also met a couple other first timers there, one of whom had only learned to swim a year ago.
It was also the first time I ever got the chance to dive off a starting block. None of the facilities I go to will allow it, so I just did a few practice dives but dove in from the deck in the races.
I'll be 69 next Sunday, so I want to do the epostal hour swim for the occasion. Next pool meet is Mar 5 in Southern Saratoga County. Waiting to hear from ssumargo next.
Q: How long does it generally take to see results from a meet posted? I'm accustomed to running races and seeing results online almost immediately. I've directed a few road races myself and strove to get them uploaded the same day. Oh sure, 25 years ago before everyone had internet connections and even those who did had to dial up, it would have taken a few days at most. But here I am a week from the last meet and have not seen official results posted. Is this normal.
For the meets that I have participated in, generally it took a week or two for the results to be posted. Some were posted the same day, however there was one meet that I did five years ago that was never posted.
In a open water event that I swam in last summer those results were "live", as soon as I crossed the finish line a text was sent. Made my wife who was unable to attend very happy that I survived ;-)
Similarly I too am waiting for the results from a meet that I swam in last weekend.
If you look at the USMS meet results page it not only list the meet dates, but the submitted dates as well.
