Hi! I was just wondering - what all do you guys do when you have back to back events? This weekend - I have the 200 IM and 100 Back seperated by only two heats. What advice do you have to offer... I know my butt is going straight into the warm down lane, but any thoughts? :help: Thanks, Sarah

    Sarah: Please report!! Hi! A few technicalities got in the way this weekend. I'll just give the whole story. I missed my turn on my 50 back - but came in with a decent time... my goggles came off in my 100 IM (this hasn't happened to me since I was like 13), but I somehow got them back on, filled with water... but came in with a time that is respectable (for me). My fly felt FIERCE, so I said- I'm gonna do the IM and back combo (MAN, was I PSYCHED! And there were now 3 heats in between)... I dove in, my goggles FRIGGIN came off again - I was so upset (irish temper) - that I got out after my streamline off the start (I was in a side lane). Unbelievably, my contacts stayed in the whole time... but I was so mad, I just couldn't swim it without goggles - some may think I should have done it - but oh well. My 100 back was fine - my time was right on for the season. So, I need to work on some things and maybe move on from my swedes goggles. I had them so tight - it wasn't funny... my start was probably off (however it was fine in warmups, don't know what I was doing wrong). Thank you for asking what happened... I almost didn't want to post anything - a little embarassed and upset about what happened... but it was a training meet for me - so I'll get over it. Very pleased with my breaststroke... and my teammates did awesome as well! Sorry for the novel! Happy swimming! :cool:
