Yesterday from a push-off, I clocked in at 1:06 on a 100 free. Considering my time on a 100 free from the blocks three weeks ago was 1:04.59, that got me, well, excited. Just subtract, what is it, three seconds? and that swim could've been 1:03 off the blocks. I was under pressure to relieve everybody at practice of finishing the last set of 3 rounds of 7 100s, had to swim it in under 1:07. I delivered!
It may not be much compared to the times of some of the really fast folks here, but I'm proud of it for my own reasons. My first 100 free race, I went 1:19.98, Jan. 31 this year. By April, I got that down to 1:11.something. The season ended for us, and I kind of relaxed the swimming for a bit of a stretch from April to July until I joined a USAS team.
So, 1:06, possibly 1:03. Not bad for a guy who just a little over a year ago was 240 pounds and hadn't been active for nearly seven years hence.
Shiver me timbers, I could get under a minute before the new year, and say, "I got my 100 free under 60 in my first year." Mmmm, I can just taste it!
I think I have a new No. 1 goal.
And I wasn't even wearing a cap for either of my recent two times. And I have a lot of hair on my head right now.
