Cornerstone Swim Meet 11-16-2014

Swam across the street at Cornerstone.

I started off as the opening leg of the 400 men's Freestyle Relay.  I swam it in 1:06.71, which was a personal best.  Still my legs get very tired and I fade at the end.

Since all of us were over 55, we established the CONN Men's 55 and over freestyle relay record for the 400 yard Free Relay.  No group of 4 55 and overs had ever swum it so as long as we didn't false start we got the record.

I swam the 50 breast stroke in 40.12, which was proportionally slower than i swam the 50 short course meters two weeks before.

I swam the 50 in 29.26, which was a 50 yard PR for me, but again proportionally slower than two weeks before.  I sort of mis-timed my flip and also went a little deep which cost me.

Then I swam the 100 Breast, which I had never swum before.  i finished in 1:3369.  I needed a 1:30:00 to qualify for the Worlds.  I think I could do it with better pacing.  i went a little slow at the beginning.

last i swam the first leg of a 200 medley relay so i got a time of 40:57 for the 50 back, which was way faster that I had ever swum self-timing myself.
