Connecticut Long Course Championships August 27-28

Swam the two day Ctr LCM Championships at Wesleyan.

Day One-

First Event was the 50 free, which I did in my fastest time ever at 32.15, which converts to a 28.24 in the SCY.

Then I swam the 200 Breast, but doing the first 50 as a sprint.  I got a time of 45.34, my best LCM time, but I felt I could have gone faster.  I just took it easy the rest of the way and had a very slow time.

I then swam in the 400 medley, going the 100 Free leg. I didn't get the split, but felt I went very fast.  Didn't go out to fast and finished strongly.  Unfortunately we were disqualified on the 2nd leg and won't get a national top ten, which we would have with our time.

Last, I swam the 1500, not going particularly fast.  i came in at 28.13, which beat 30 which was my goal, but was slower than some of the people I swim with at Cornerstone.

Day 2

Next day I only swam two events.  the 100 Free, which I did in 1.21.69, my best time in a year, but I was a bit tired from the previous day, and felt I could have gone faster.

Last I swam a 100 leg in the 400 free Relay.  No great shakes.
