    C'mon we're all about the same age...we all tried to swim the length of the pool underwater doing fly kick only...I would have killed for a pair of yellow trunks with a black stripe! Hey how did ur meet go with your sinus issue? Thanks for asking about the meet! Well, we did have a bit of a surprise @ the St. Nicks Meet. Upon arrival I found that the meet was now SCY instead of SCM as planned. Upon measuring the pool, it turns out that it was half an inch short. The bulkhead would not cooperate (being rusted) so the decision was made to do SCY. Oh well. This is my second meet in a row in which any top 10s would be thrown out or would not count (1st meet was Auburn earlier this year b/c the pool was not measured period; this meet for SCM; however, any top 10 times will count for SCY). Well, it's true Speedo won't be knocking at my door regardless, so I'm over it. I know the officials did the best that they could! :rofl: :rofl: Day 1 - Right near my best times as a masters for 50 free (25.3) .3 off / 100 IM 1:03.xx and about 1 second off/ and 50 *** 33.xx - about .7 off. Day 2 - Off a bit more (feeling tired); 3 seconds off my 200 IM time - need to be totally well for that!! I can fake 50s and 100s VERY WELL but not the 200s. And .8 off my 50 fly time at 28.01 from my best of 27.2 (had 8 mintues between IM and 50 fly - I was sucking wind the first lap of the 50 fly which NEVER happens, but I was not properly warmed down from IM); 3 seconds off my 100 fly time and went 1:03 -BUT it felt good! Wore a drag suit this day. 2nd in the reindeer relay! I think I actually lost if for my relay! ACK! Not used to that. :frustrated: What I noticed about being sick/ recovering from sickness - my desire to really race was almost gone - there was less desire and too much concentration on symptoms and how I felt. Need to work on that! All that being said, Momma will take what she can get! :wiggle: :wiggle: I enjoyed a huge steak dinner with :drink: :drink: two jack and diet cokes and an ice cream sunday on Saturday. It was HEAVEN!!! It was awesome meeting and swimming next to Nadine Day for the whole meet. She's a very inspirational swimmer. I think I'm going to work towards LC Nationals. LOVE the SHORTS! HOT! ;)
