I see a lot of forum members from my general area and am wondering if any of you are going to the meet in Richmond on February 9 and 10. I feel like I almost know some of you even though all I really know about you is whether or not you feel like Dara Torres is doping and what your swimming pet peeves are.
In just six short days, I will get to experience my first ever 500 free. I am nervous about going out too fast since that has been my tendency in practices (regardless of the workout).
What is everyone else swimming?
WHATEVER YOU DO....DO NOT GO OUT TOO FAST! I can't tell you how many times I have been standing behind the blocks telling myself just that and then 200 yards later I think to myself "Darn, you went out too fast!" It really makes for a LONG race. You'd think I would have learned by now.
Sadly, I will not be swimming in the meet. I broke my foot on Wednesday. I'll still be there to watch the Chris vs. Jeff 400 IM on Saturday and your 500 free. Look for the girl with the boot on her left leg...that's me :)
