Has anyone else had one of these Zen moments while swimming?
 
YES!!! :bliss:  I thought it was at Sunday&amp;#39;s meet when I took 21/2 - 31/2 seconds off each of my PB breaststroke times.  I was feeling pretty good then.  But, today, I took another second off my 200 breaststroke- but with an IN WATER start.  So, take another 4 seconds off for a block start (that seems to be about right for me) and that&amp;#39;s a total of five seconds off Sunday&amp;#39;s personal best time!  :banana:
 
I can&amp;#39;t explain it; I couldn&amp;#39;t believe what I saw when I looked at my time.  And, I even felt like I had more left in the tank.  My only hope is that I feel this way at the next meet that counts! :D&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
