please bear with me while I brag!
Let me remind you .... 2 months ago, in a LCM meet (and my first meet ever) I was doing 1:58 in 100 free!!!! I just started swimming, just over 3 months ago, first time ever, at the age of 34.
This afternoon at the workout the coach had us doing 4x100, on 4 minutes, no holding back race sets. (SCM pool)
I did 1:27, 1:30, 1:33 and 1:31 :)
The coach was very very pleasantly surprised... I was so surprised I thought he was reading off someone else's time!
Earlier in the workout he commented how my stroke is looking really good. Couple other teammates commented on my stroke looking good in last couple of weeks as well...
I'm vevy vevy excited... I think I feel a touchdown dance coming on... ;)

don't worry about having to swim 100 fr last after swimming all those events. 100 fr is my fav and best event and it was always one of the last events on sunday. but i had some of my best times at meets where i swam all my free events twice b/c of finals.
i know how good it feels to be told your stoke looks good! i was at the pool a week ago and one of the lifeguards told me i had a beautiful stroke. it was especially nice because i have been working really hard on it and i always considerend myself to have rough stroke --> fast but definetly not pretty
good luck at your meet! :) if you keep the excitement you have and keep your technique during your swims i'm sure you'll do awesome!!
