So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
King Frog hasn't posted his "swim happy" yet, so I am going to post it for him. :D After setting the goal and thinking about breaking the World Record in the 200 breaststroke over the last two years, he did it at the World Championships in Montreal! :applaud:
My Worlds, on the other hand, was a disaster in the pool, even though I had a BLAST and saw way too much of Montreal in between my races. :whiteflag: Adding Quebec City on to it was even more fun, but I was truly exhausted by the time I swam my 200 fly at Nationals.
Now for my "swim happy" to end on a very positive note: After resting up here in Maryland and getting my frog legs back, I swam 12 seconds under my seed time (I was 12 seconds over in Montreal) in the 200 breaststroke today, won a medal, and got a personal best time EVER in the 200 LC breaststroke. :bliss: I also swam my best breaststroke relay split in two years during yesterday's Mixed Medley. I never thought I would ever see a PB in breaststroke ever again, but I proved myself wrong. :ohyeah:
