First day yesterday back in the local long course pool. That first LC swim is always a rude awakening. You get to concentrate on your swimming a great deal more, which is a plus, but wow, where is that wall???
Does anybody else feel like crap on that first day, or am I just a big wuss? (Yes, I know, these are not mutually exclusive statements; the "or" isn't really warranted. Humor me.)
Have never swum a LC meet in my life, but plan to do several this summer. Anybody got any magic spells to shorten the pool?
Now I wish I had entered a breaststroke event! I'm glad I haven't sent in my entry form for Northwest LCM Zones yet. I might enter the 200 ***. It took 3:09 to make top ten in my age group last year... I think I can do that, although... I've never done 200 *** in LCM...
I've done triathlons, but I've never done an open water swimming race. I've been considering entering Fat Salmon this year though.
Hope to meet you next week!
That is why I starting swimming the 200 *** in LCM. Although last year, I needed a 3:03(did 3:14 at a inseason LCM meet) to make it in the 30-34. But, I couldn't do swim it at my LCM zones due to other events. But, I did do a 2:58 a few weeks ago at a USAS meet. So, If I can do that, I am sure that you wouldn't have a problem going faster than 2:58.
