I had one main goal for SCY-break 1:08 for 100 yd BR.I went 1:07:85 at Mesa so I was happy:bliss::bouncing::banana:.
Now we are into LCM and so on to more goals.

How did you do on the indoor( for most of us) season?
I gave myself an A- for my 50 BR, a B for my 100 BR, and a C- for my 50 FR.
How many yards did you swim?
I average about 12,500y per week, plus 3-5x dryland sessions.
Did you go to your state meet?
Yes, and I swam like crap.
Did you go to Nationals?
Yes, see Q1 above.
Goal: under 23.0 in the 50y free, under 50.0 in the 100y free. Ended up 22.3 and 48.9 respectively. Goal met :banana:
I swim 6000m per week pretty consistently.
Attended state
Did not attend nats.

How many strokes do you take per 25 yards on your 50 and 100? How tall are you and does that help you in your sprints? Just curious. Thank you.

No doubt being 6'2" helps but its probably more my 6'8" armspan :) I take around 13 strokes on the first 25 of a 50y free, 16-17 on the way back. In the 100y its about 10-11 on the first length, then 14-16 on the other 3 lengths. I never really count, i had to go look at video to come up with this answer for you.
This is kinda going off topic though, so if you have further q's i'd be happy to answer them via pm.

Definitely!
In answer to the original question, no, I did not. The only good thing about my short course season is it's now over. I was behind my GTD yardage pace. I swam at both my state (actually Zone meet here) and Nationals, albeit poorly at both.

Let's see, about 9 out of 10 times I got in the water for competition, I lowered my times in all events - backstroke, long distance free and 400 IM.
I swim about 12,000 per week (roughly 3000-4000 for 3 week days and 4000-5000 on Saturday.
I didn't swim in my state meet since it's a 4 hour drive away nor did I swim at Nationals. I swam at Zones and had a great meet.
