Need advice. Back to back events.

. 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. Hey, it sounds like overall things went great. I once had to crawl out of a 100 IM too because I lost my goggles on the start. Fortunately, I was in lane 1. Had to get out, couldn't drive home without them. It's tough to swim a 200 IM with contacts in. Who could do that?! Your 100 back was probably so good because you were steamed! Great job.:groovy::applaud:

In-Season race experience with the massive fatigue factor could be a huge mental advantage come Zones/Nationals time... All fur still here ;) No Shear Till Nationals! :dedhorse: ;) You clearly are not a sprinter, Muppet! :yawn: I'm glad all your fur is still there until nationals. You'll be zooming at top speed. OK, I get your random dead horse thing now. I'll do it too. :dedhorse: . I just hope some guy gets it. I notice that Swimr4LIfe uses that a lot lately too. :rofl: I'll have to try it more often. Somehow, I feel the occasion will arise. :rofl: Sarah: Please report!!

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).

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:

At least you are doing something and not couch potatoing, right?

Yeah, it's funny how well I do when I'm ticked off.... ha ha! Signing up for the 200IM in my next meet. Take care!:wave:

Hey at least your speedos didn't come off on the dive. At least you are doing something and not couch potatoing, right? LOL! Yes, things could have been a lot worse! Looking forward to the next meet.
