So I made this bet with my 9yo daughter. The bet was that if she swam 100 free (this past Sunday) within 30 seconds of what I swim it in (on the 28th), I would have to give her $20 (10 to her, 10 to her savings account). She is very competitive with me (we race down the slides at the swim center :duel:) and she loves to beat me.
So I was figuring on her going about 1:35-1:38, which means I would have to go about 1:05, really didn't that would be a problem. So what does she do? She nails her start and does THREE flips turns (she does them well in practice, she just isn't confident in them yet) and throws down a 1:29.37. I was thrilled, cause she looked great. Then I did the math :doh:, I gotta go sub 1:00. Maybe in a couple of months, sure, don't think I'm gonna get it in this meet. Ugh, nothing like a trash talking 9yo :rofl:.
Me and my big mouth, maybe I should have held out for 20 seconds??????

You do not want to be swimming with NTs at that speed, unless you're sandbagging. ;) .
hey, Hey, HEY :duel:
Hmm, maybe I can do some quick self timing this Friday to get an rough idea. Guess I need to pay more attention ot my intervals during practice. Grrrrr. :doh:
Grudge matches? Can I at least get ONE meet in first? Can I huh??? :thhbbb:
Need to start the excuses now, so here goes, good friend of mine is having a dinner party the 27th and combined with having to WORK that day (be there at FIVE AM!!!) I might be a little tired :cry:
There, I think I gave myself several outs :D
So, for those who might have some suggestions as to reasonable seed times:
(intervals during practices in SCM)
100 IM - about 1:35 interval
100 Free - About 1:20
50 Free - 38
25 Free - 19
25 Fly - 18
25 Free - all out about 14.5 after a practice.
That's all I can remember now. So gimme your suggestions for the following:
100 IM
100 Free
50 Free
50 Fly
50 ***
and then 25 of each stroke. I think Fort is right, I would rather be in a competitive heat than in a heat with a wide range of times.
