100 X 100

Swam 10,000 yards today.  We got to the pool when it opened and swam till nearly 11:30 with some breaks, doing a total of 100 100's.  My arms were fine, but my calves cramped around 4000, so i had to do a lot of pulling after that.

It was a great time.  Seven of us did it.

Here's a post performance photo:

Holyoke Meet 1-3-2016

Swam in the Holyoke Meet and it didn't go to well.  It is a small pool with warmish water, six lanes.  I disqualified in the 100 free for a false start, which I only found out about later.  I guess I moved before the time hit the button.  I felt like I had a bad start as my feet slipped.  It didn't matter, my race plan feel apart. I was trying to breath every four and then found myself slowing so I could maintain it. I ended up with my worst 100 time ever.  1:11:99.  My 50 split was 32:08.

In the 50, I had a late start and ended up with a 29.69, again my worst time in a year.  Both times were a half second slower than a year ago.
