Anybody going to the SCY meet in Olympia this weekend? If I recall correctly, I entered the 100-200 free, 50-100 ***, and 200 IM, so I'm easy pickings for any gridgers out there. I might need a running start for the 50 ***...:bed:
World Record (s), I'd wager, especially with a tech suit.
You can't set WRs in a SCY meet,unfortunately.I don't know how she can get a Jaked or Arena in time,but she should try.
A good time was had by all in Olympia today. I haven't looked it up but Megan probably set 5 national records in W25-29: 27 in the 50 ***, 59 in the 100, 2:09 in the 200, 54 in the 100 IM, 1:59 in the 200 IM, and signed dozens of autographs. The 200 IM was the last individual event of the day. When I saw her 2:05 seed time I thought "maybe I'll be near her feet after the backstroke before she obliterates me on the breaststroke" but after watching her post that 54 in the 100, I revised my thinking to "I suppose we'll be relatively even until the dive...." For the 200 IM gridge, I posted a 2:16.26 in my 7th swim of the day. Along with my 5 events, I joined two Unattached relays that were organized on the fly. Upon request, I swam the 50 *** in a medley relay. That has never happened before. I mean, someone actually requesting that I race breaststroke. Nathan swam fast too. I think he went 34 in the 50 ***, 1:10 in the 100 IM, and 27 in the 50 free. On the heat sheet, he was correctly listed as M25 and suddenly had seed times, which he smashed. I applaud your stealthy gridgework, sir!

Wow. Even though all those times are stunning something about that 54 in the 100 IM is really impressive!
Sounds like your meet was a lot of fun :applaud:
OMG, she is absolutely amazing. 100 IM holy cow!!! My best 100 free is 56.
WOW!!!
My meet was fun until my hubby pulled his groin, in his first lap of his first race in five years. :badday:
He's 6'4" and known for his phenomenal walls. It was during the 200 br. He dove in and went well past 15m (wearing a B70 for the first time). Either on the dive, or on the first kick, his groin "popped" as he described. He did 3 strokes on the first lap with no power in his kick. Lap 2 he went past 15m again and took 4 strokes. Lap 3 he went 15m took one stroke, did free to the other end and got out. His first 50 with little effort and no kick was 32 low (at least that part was good!)
Fortunately for me I entered my first 3 events back to back. So while he was trying to figure out if he could swim, I raced. He waited for me another 45 min so I could swim 200 back. I didn't want to ask him to wait for the last event, 200IM, so we left.
My 200 back was 2:25. And while I didn't do 200 IM, I suspect that it would have been 2:25 or faster, as my back and IM are almost always the same.
I'm sorry I didn't follow through on our bet. I'll let you know before I swim it next time? (And this time I won't bring the old man with me!)
:lmao:
OK next up, who's going to Kirkland on the 21st?

I entered the 400 IM, 50 free, 50 fly, 50 back, and 100 back. I'm utterly craptacular in the 50 free, if anyone's looking for an easy W.
Dare I do another one?
I'm hoping to swim a 400 IM and 100 back the following week, on the 28th.
Times?
Earlier this season I went 4:53.00 and 1:01.64. Hoping to improve on those times.
