Okay, I have entered...

... the Colonies Zone Championships... doing the 100 and 200 free on 12/8. Sent the entry and USMS card in. Wish me luck! I have had the good fortune of working w/ a coach in the area who's been doing underwater video analysis of my stroke. He's great! Also plans to help me with the dive... I think that's a matter of just getting past the fear b/c standing on the block makes me nervous.... but I did some off the side in yesterday's session to help build confidence. So who among you will be there on 12/8, since this is going to be a day trip for me (on a budget)? Looking forward to seeing some "forumites"! And you can even critique my form or my swimsuit style! :)

  • Thanks all--getting excited! And that swim coach I mentioned is going to help me more w/ dives in my next session. Did a few practice dives off the side (not the block). I just don't want to lose my balance and fall off the block before I can get in a dive. If I can actually make it into the water w/out incident, the rest is just swimming! :fish2: I look forward to meeting the "crazies," since I've become one of them. "But I don't want to be among mad people," said Alice. "You're mad or you wouldn't be here," said the White Rabbit.
