I'm sure each of us has one race (or maybe more) that has some special :groovy: :applaud: :wave: :banana: :laugh2:
meaning to us and it could be for any one of many reasons. (I'm not talking about embarrassing moments; this has been addressed elsewhere.)
I'm talking about swims/races, some moments of which live with incredible clarity and details in our memories and minds (in colour -or B&W, with sounds and possibly smells -chlorine, of course.)
I won't tell about mine (I have three about which I'm very proud) for a while. Not until regulars have told their stories and some would-be-posters (a.k.a. lurkers) have also shared.

I think it is good to comment on this thread because for one thing, there are many new people here who may not go back to older threads, and two, my initial thread was similar but not quite.
My memorable swim was Masters 1995 LC Nationals in Oregon. The best swim of my entire life and I have done a pile of them. Lots of power, very controlled, negative split all the 50s, and swam my fastest 800 m ever. Couldn't even get out of the pool right away; nothing was left energy wise. My other couple of great swims took place in the 1960s.

Details please. Relive them and pray tell it like you remember, like you felt it back then.
And I'm not trying to psych you UP for your Sunday 1Mile, although a good, happy memory, really boosts the morale.
Cheers
