For me, I just had mine this weekend. :)
I was entered in five events: 1.) 50 free, 2.) 200 free, 3.) 100 back, 4.) 100 ***, and 5.) 100 free.
old and new PB times:
50fr: the only event I didn't drop time, PB is still 27.53 (Oct '10).
200fr: 2:28.11 (Jul '10)/2:18.99
100 back: 1:23.19 (Oct '10)/1:18.03
100 ***: 1:28.11 (Oct '10)/1:26.73
100 free: 1:02.64 (Oct '10)/1:00.03
FOUR MILLISECONDS AWAY FROM GOING UNDER!!! AAARGH! Still, it was a mega monster 2.5 second drop from my old PB.
This month marks two years since I started swimming, though I didn't start competitively until January '09.
The piano dropped in none of these events. At the end of each, I was ready to get right back in and race again. The 50 free was just a stupid mistake- I didn't warm up properly, else I would've dropped time there, too. There were lessons to be learned and new mistakes to be avoided after my previous meet last month. I learned them and avoided them.
My best meet yet.
What about your best meets?

Great going! That is a really sweet drop in time. :chug:
100 back: 1:23.19 (Oct '10)/1:18.03
100 free: 1:02.64 (Oct '10)/1:00.03
Oh I would love to peel 4.16s off my 100 back time and 2.61s off my 100 free time.

Yea, I have a rule: Never be upset about a pb. Don't sweat the 40 milliseconds. That will provide motivation to keep up the intense training. You will be a better swimmer because of it.

Can't say I've ever had one like the one you describe here. I remember as a kid winning 5 blue ribbons at a dual meet on 7/7/77. Lucky sevens to be sure! I don't recall if any were pb times though.
