Well, first of all I would like to latt you all know that I have only ONE day 'till I swim in a meet (I swim on Sunday)!!! I have so many emotions going through me that I don't think I can describe it all! :)
Anyway, my question is, when I sent my application in for my seed time I put 1:38, that was my ok time, BUT now I can't go faster than 1:42-1:43, but am in a group of times 1:35-1:38.40 in the meet.....is that a big deal? Do I need to let them know that I am slower now?:rolleyes:
Any ideas? :help:
Thanks!
Don't sweat it. Your seed time is just supposed to get you into a heat with swimmers who are of similar speed. Some people will go slower than their seed time, some will go faster. Especially in masters meets there tends to be a decent spread between the swimmers in a heat.
If you are swimming a little slower these days it might actually help you to swim with a heat that's a little faster. Maybe you'll be able to keep up with them and surprise yourself. Good luck!
