St. Thomas Swim Meet

Time for another masters swim meet. This time held at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul Minnesota. My daughter went with me for this one to help cheer me on and count for me during my 500 and 1000.

So my goals for the meet were to PR in the 500 and the 1000 free. I have some season long goals that I am trying to reach as well, but I am just working towards those at this point. I also wanted to PR in the 50 fly. My daughter had just had a PR in the 50 fly that was faster than mine, so I wanted to go out and try and be the fastest in the family again. I NEVER swim fly, so it will be fun. I was also signed up for 100 free and 50 back but those were just for fun.

It was a good swim meet. I met all my goals, including the season goals ahead of schedule! My two long swims were strong and steady. I actually had a bit left in the tank too. My 100 free was swum at a fast but not all out pace because my 500 was less than 15 minutes later but that turned out to be a big PR too. I also swam two relays for fun.

I also managed to become king of the family again when I took 6 seconds off my 50 fly time!
