YMCA swim meet

The local YMCA started putting on monthly swim meets this year, and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to get the juices flowing. Since I have been struggling with my runners knee, swimming has become my priority. Saturday afternoon about 20 swimmers showed up to battle in various distances. My plan was to race the 1000y, 100y, 50y, and backstroke in 200 medley. Since I have been training for distance ie. triathlon I knew the 100, and 50 would just be to see if I still "got it!" I swam my senior year in highschool in the 100, and 50 so this would be interesting to see what I could do. The 1000 was first, felt good and I went 11:45 (1:10pace). Since less than two years ago my pace was 1:20 for 750, this was a huge improvement. Then the 100 I went 54.3, and 50 in 25.03! I was happy with all my events and only slightly embarrassed myself with a 33 in the backstroke...All in all it was fun and a good event.
