Well, I did it!!!!
This passed Sunday I had my first ever swim meet!!!!
I had wonderful time at the meet, got to dive 3 times off the blocks :applaud: during practice, not so scary after I did it a couple of times! One of the coaches from some club helped me a little. That was very nice of him!
Of course when the time came to the real thing I forgot to push off with my legs and it felt more like falling in... And then I forgot what I was supposed to do after the actual :rofl: in a hurry remembered to do a pull. After that I was fine, except still was too slow on turns....
Anyway, my time for 100 *** was 1:39.51. I think it's not so bad for the first time.
For some reason my swim felt too slow, as if I was a recreational kind of swimmer not a racer....is what is called adrenalin? I am pretty sure I was going hard for today all my muscles are in pain especially my abdominals....don't know.
I LOVED the UofH pool! Oh my it was absolutely beautiful!!!!!! Well, enough bubbling!
Also, can someone please tell me what the numbers (I marked them in red) are?
#33 Women 30-34 100 *** 1:38.00 1:39.51 (6) 3
47.01 1:39.51 (52.50)
Thanks all for all your help!

Hey that's not a bad time at all for a 100 ***, especially for your first time. Congrats!

Not exactly sure what the (6) 3 means. I'm guessing your heat and lane?
The 47.01 is your split time at the 50. In other words your first 50 yards was done in 47.01 and your second 50 was done in 52.50 seconds. Split are useful to see how well you swam the race. Ideally your second 50 should only be 2-3 seconds slower than your first. You were about five second slower, which isn't bad, but something you can work on for next time.
