    He had motivation, didn't he? He had to beat his fiancé's time. You had a pretty great meet yourself. Any problems swimming straight in backstroke, or did the ceiling help with that? It looked pretty high up there in the pictures. Thanks. I had no problems swimming straight at this pool. I do need to talk to you at somepoint about training advice for the 200. I love the event but I have had trouble getting things to come to together in that race. Based on my 50 back, I know that I have a much better 100 back in me(esp. since I didn't shave) The 50 was a pleasant surprise for me. The 100 was a solid swim but based on my 50, I believe that I still need to learn how to race the front half better. The 200 proved to be a learning opporunity. While I am not disappointed in finishing 2nd, I realized that I should have stayed the course from my first 100. Things didn't feel smooth the front half, so I panicked on the 2nd 100 and tried to do too much to compensate to feel smoothier. I realized know that the front half was pretty smooth and controlled and the second half I lost a solid catch on the water. Definitly a lot to improve upon, but not disappointed in the place.
