Hey Chris,
Were you rested for the 59.3 you went on Friday? Nice swimming by the way. There are some fast times going up at the Virginia Swimming LC Senior Championships.
One of the kids from Lynchburg took second in the 100 *** and some of the local kids have had significant drops in time!
Good luck in your events tomorrow.
Thanks, TJ. No, not rested -- heck, I did 2 OW races 5 days before the meet, not exactly my usual taper plan -- but I did stay off the bike this week to save my legs a little and I have switched weights to maintenance mode.
Yes, the meet's been pretty deep this year, on the boy's side anyway. The top guys aren't completely rested, though at nationals I'll have to tell Jeff Utsch that his 24-year-old meet record in the 400 free was broken tonight.
I am also trying out the B70 for the first time. I was actually much less pleased with how it felt on fly than on the long-axis strokes. I was happy with the 200 free and 100 back. 200 back is tomorrow but I am exhausted. This trials/finals stuff is for the young, for me it is like I've had 4 meets in two days, with two more to go. I'm basically looking at it like training; 3 days at nationals is nothing by comparison.
