We hosted our very first Masters Swim Meet today! It was a blast and although it went really fast, I had fun and swam pretty well. We had about 35 swimmers. We even had a few from out of state. I made a new friend with a gentleman named Chris with Mountain View Masters in California. I was super excited to have such a great meet with all the Utah Masters swimmers.
So, my races didn't go quite as planned. I thought the 1,650 would be good and the 100 IM and 50 Back would be rough. It was quite the opposite. I don't think that I warmed up enough for the mile. And I haven't swam in a meet for a long while, so I was extra nervous. My times were all pretty decent though.
Warm up:
~400
5x50 pace
Before the 50 Back
~150
Races:
1,650
100 IM
50 Back
(I also swam the 50 Free in the medley relay)
Next meet will be in April at the new Olympus pool! I will plan a much better warm up for that one!
Oh, my husband and baby daughter counted for my mile. I loved it! It was wonderful having them there to support me.
