Wow, what a meet!! Thanks to all those who organized, volunteered and officiated at this year's Nationals.....excellent job!! I'm just a 6,000 yards-a-week lap swimmer, without QT's, (but didn't want to miss this opportunity being so close to home) - and I never felt unwelcome at all, even though I couldn't hold a candle to the rest of my age group. I met some nice people, watched some awesome (Muhammad was SMOKIN!) and inspirational (our senior delegation - what a great group of people) swims. The fanfare before the Race Team's 50 free and especially the 50 fly, was very entertaining!! Hope Muhammad makes the olympics!
This was the best meet I've ever attended and even though I didn't place, I did take home two PR's, an accomplishment long in coming!
Thanks again Indy Swim Fit!!
I didn't really notice the air temp was that cool, but I always wore shorts and a long sleeve shirt when I wasn't swimming. I thought the temp of the competition pool was ideal. Actually the dive tank wasn't bad, either. I wouldn't want to swim a workout in there, but for warmup/warmdown it felt good.
I really can't complain with how I swam. I set new Masters PBs in all my events and was well under the Nationals cuts in all six. I even scored in a couple events. However, I really wanted to do well in the 500 free, and that turned out to be disappointing. Oh well. Just one more thing to shoot for next time!
