State Swim Meet

The Minnesota Masters SCY state swim meet is a two day affair. I had a very busy schedule planned for this swim meet. I was swimming 4 events each day, plus I knew I would be swimming in some relays too.


Saturday had the 200 Free, the 50 Free, 50 Back, and the 1650 Free. Sunday had the 500 Free, 100 Free, 100 Back, and 1000 Free. So not only did I have a lot of events, but a lot of long distance events too.

So on Saturday I also swam 3 relays, including anchor leg of 400 free relay where I got out of lane 6 and onto the lane 4 block for the 1650.

The 200 was great. Smooth long and strong for opening 100 then increase the tempo for last 100 and set a 12s PR!

The 50s were just meh.I actually managed to TIE my 50 free PR down to the hundredths of a second.
The 1650 was good. Felt strong the whole way. Tried not to go out too fast. Told my counter I wanted 51s 50's. I had a few of those but the rest were lower. In the end, I had a 1 minute PR in the mile.
Super happy with my day.

Sunday I woke up this morning SORE. Wow, was my body tired. So my results were not as good as Saturday. No PR's on Sunday. I swam the races the way I wanted to, and put the effort in that I wanted to, it just didn't result in the times I wanted.


Overall I am SUPER happy with my weekend. I did really well on day one, and came pretty close to PR's on day two. I swam A LOT of distance which I don't do in practice, and did pretty consistently. I swam 2200 yards of competition swimming on Saturday (plus some warmup). That's just a bit less than my normal swim workout!
