Another meet rant....can't believe I'm ranting about my first USMS times. But after swimming in bathwater this summer I was really looking forward to a meet in a nice pool close to home. Unfortunately the turnout was really low so there wasn't much atmosphere or competition, my events were totally back to back (although they did allow us extra time in between :)) and so despite being fitter its hardly surprising my times were slower. What is frustrating is that I felt I didn't swim my best, and that I somehow blew my chance at seeing real improvement on my 100 free 'cos I couldn't get psyched up enough, and the fly didn't flow.
Bit of an anticlimax really.
