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.

1500 short course meters; Walnut Creek, Oct. 2004. I hadn't done a meet in a while so I was a little nervous. I even started from the wall because I hadn't been working on starts and wasn't feeling particularly comfortable with the blocks. Looking back, I knew I was going to have a good race during warm-up and sure enough - I came in 2nd overall! The race felt "smart" and I just felt really good through the whole thing and finished strong.
PS: Hi Karen Duggan! Missed you at swim camp....:p
