Okay, My turn to brag a little bit, if I may... ;)
I had a great meet yesterday.
Shaved 5 seconds off my 200 free. Iafter I got done almost fainting from the effort, I almost fainted again from surprize when I saw my time. It's the time I didn't think I could do (yet).
Then I dropped 2 secoinds in my 100 free, and a second in my 50 free.
Finally for 100 free I dropped into teens. I'm around 1:18-ish now.
Then my coach says, today at practice... Yeah, you're doing really well, if you stick with it for couple of years, you'll turn into a major contender.
:eek: i'll stick with it allright, but a major contender... ugh! We'll see.
Did I mention I have the best coach? ;)

Your coach is not the only one who said you would get a lot better. It takes a good two years to both get in shape and learn all the new drills and technique to get real fast.
You are doing great, attitude and the willingness to listen to the coach and then apply it is wonderful thing for a coach to see.
And yes you got a great coach.
Thank you!
Your input has been very valuable as well!
I very much enjoy talking with you, and hearing your input. I'm sorry the meet ran kind of fast, and we had to stop so abruptly at times.
Oh, next time, would you please honor us with your presence at the post meet dinner. We have a lot of fun at those :)
I do the best I can... which is not always a pretty sight ;) , but, it's getting better. :D
I'm enjoying the heck out of it, the swimming, and all the awesome people I'm meeting. It sure helps with the motivation.
And darn it, I didn't get to cash in my breaststroke kick demonstration... maybe next time.
