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... ;)

On freestyle I count,
left arm=1
right arm=2
left arm+breath=3
right arm=4
left arm=5
right arm+breath=6
...
On a 100 sprint, I can do 9 then 5 on the the first 2 25's
and on a 3rd 25 when I'm not as strong I do 1+7-3-3+flip breath
4th 25 I try for 9+5 again
well... anyway, hope this makes sense...
