2014 Wrap Up

Finished 2014 strong with a master's workout.  I have been swimming 5-6 times a week and swimming strong.  It has been a great year, and I hope I have many more ahead.  great coaching, hard work and living across the street from the pool all have made me a true competitive swimmer.

Here are the highlights of my year:

1. Qualified for and Swam official times at the FINA World Masters Championships in the 50 and 100 Meter Freestyle in Montreal, Canada.
2. Did the 5 Mile Lake Quassy Swim, swimming the 3 mile, 1.5 mile and 0.5 mile races.
3. Went over 250 lap miles at Cornerstone (250.4 miles or 17,628 laps)
4. Swam the 100 IM in competitive races
5. Qualified after the fact in the 50 meter breaststroke.
