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:

My swim happy is finally getting back under :44 on the 50 breaststroke with a 43.82 at the National Senior Games, my best time since 2013. Then, in yesterday's Mixed Medley Relay, I dropped it to 43.67 after a slow start. (I wanted to make sure I didn't DQ our relay team, so I waited until the backstroker touched the wall before I started to go. No rolling start on this one!) Our team ended up with bronze medals in both the mixed and free relays. Thanks to our freestyler coming from way behind to mow down our competition in the neighboring lane, he touched him out by a tenth for a bronze medal. Three bronze medals and two ribbons (5th in 100 fly, my fastest time since 2013 & 6th in 400 IM) at my first National Senior Games! :wiggle:
Damn!!!
