You sound like a mean backstroker Alex! Congrats on your high placing in that very tough and widespread competition!
And Heather.....You will break the 1:00 barrier in the 100 fly someday....Did you happen to read my prior posting about that? Just keep moving forward the way you are and you will get there sooner than you think....Remember that you are a flyer now (self declared) even if its not quite your best event at the moment.
