Swim Meet

Well the Masters swim season is upon us. Had a couple of good taper swims this week in training. The first meet of the season is a short course meters meet at the University of Minnesota pool. Two years ago this was the site of my first ever masters swim meet. I swam the 50 free along with the 50 and 100 back. I couldn't swim much further than that.

Today I only swam freestyle events and also included the 400m free which I really wanted to do well with. I am still relatively new with flip turns and I don't do them in practice all the time partially because I am usually sharing lanes with people who don't and I don't have much control over my direction yet. But I completed the 400m free with all flip turns today! Thats the most ever in competition.

My final results were:

50m Free 39.86
100m Free 1:27.37
200m Free 3:02.23
400m Free 7:18.89

My daughter came along today to be a junior Nortlander and cheer me on!
