I took the swimming diversity tour at the meet I swam in this weekend. Did the 100's of each stroke. I've always been impressed with swimmers that could do anything - and I tried to develop myself into an all around swimmer when I was in college. I did well, better than I hoped. Placed in the overall first position in each stroke. Managed to hold off a few twenty year olds' after all. I think my strength training over the last few months has served me well in the water, particularly with fly.
Fly - .59
Back - .58
Breast - 1.08
Free - 53.02 (almost a .52)
These times aren't so bad for a guy turning 40 this year I suppose, but I see that I'm getting slower. Like an old gray Labrador. Master's swimming is great - it's no different than any level of swimming. Everyone wants to win. I was as nervous as ever prior to the first race; feeling as if I was expected to win, some remnant of long ago mental imagery.
Yesterday I ran 6 miles. This morning I rode 25 miles on my trainer.
