I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts?
I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.
Perhap, like me, you haven't swum that many actual races. That doesn't necessarily mean you don't know what you are. :thhbbb: to them.
And yet, so often they are right about other things. Damn them.
Uh, this is my first ever SC 100 fly in either yards or meters. I have no idea what time to enter, but it won't be an aggressive time for sure. It's an experiment. I don't train for this event particularly. But I don't think my 50 time reflects what I'll do in my 100. Usually a big drop off. Just doing it for fun.
The 100 fly is fun (though more fun in yards and less fun LC). I'm sure you'll do well. When I am feeling wussy, I enjoy backhalfing it, but there can be some fun in just going out and seeing what happens. At Nats, I could barely get through those last ten yards, but I made my goal time, so I suppose the go out and die approach has its points. Lol.
