OK,
Here is my swimming career in a nutshell. I have started to level off, so I think getting under a minute is going to be hard.

I'm curious, what is the time difference between a fast workout time (off the block even) and a meet time? And for your meets, were you tapered/shaved, did you wear any special/fancy suit? I'm trying to assess if/when I'll be ready to do a meet again.
I've added the taper/suit comments. The first four years I neither tapered nor shaved and just wore whatever suit I was wearing for workouts at the time.
