  • Well, I had some good swims at Albatross (SCM) 100 Free - went sub 1:00 WOOT!!!! 59.94 50 *** - Legs were dead but still shaved half second to 36.82 50 Fly - Once again no legs but shaved .08 to 30.21 50 Back - right shoulder issues put me || this close to scratching but swam it anyway. Broke out 1 foot to deep, had a marginal turn and no legs but went 33.49. Then I swam 50 Fly in back to back relays. Rested for about 3-4 minutes and then swam 50 free lead off in a free relay. Split a 27.91 lead off which all things considered, is pretty good. Considering shoulder issues and no practices for almost 2 weeks, I am very happy with my swims. I wasn't expecting to be sub 1:00 100SCM free at this point, I thought it would take a little longer. Shoulder is not happy right now, icing it as I type this. Paul
