At a dual meet that my team was going to easily win, my coach placed me in the 50 free. I never swam the 50 because I was a lousy a sprinter.
Here was a chance at a PR. I planned on trying to time the gun to see if I could break 23 seconds. My timing was a bit early and I remember hearing the gun while in motion. The starter didn't call it, and I squeaked in at a 22.9.
Was that cheating?
