Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

OK, so here is my 50 backstroke at a meet. I had hoped to break :40, however, I came in at :40.45; still a personal best that I am happy with, since I am a breaststroker.
This was my last event of the day; 400 IM was my first. I was pooped out from the warm water and warm air, so my muscles were like silly putty, as you can see by my weak effort to get my butt up for the start. I also lacked the strength to get from the flags to the wall on my usual stroke count, going into the turn and finish. So, there was a bit of a time loss at each end. I hope to put it all together at Auburn, in two weeks, and make my goal.
