Total: 2800 LCM (~3000 SCY)

My times on my 100s and 50s seem really slow, even for meters. I must have been tired that day, or something. I can usually sprint a 50 a lot quicker LC than SC because my turns are so bad. My SCY times are usually around :45 on a sprint, so maybe it's not TOO bad, but who knows.

One thing I'm really going to miss without LC is being pushed by people who are usually in lane 2. We weren't having as much distance cut as usual because of the different skill levels in the lane, and it felt nice to try and keep up and sometimes succeed.

I loved these 75 IMs. I'm so bad at breaststroke, and I love fly so much, I was thrilled to get to skip the breast part of the IM. The funny part about my lane is that we all skipped different strokes, and the only person who skipped fly was Lori, and that's because she's never learned to do it. :) Amanda doesn't like her freestyle at the moment (she's about seven months pregnant) and Vicki hates backstroke.

Then there's the head up drill. I HATE that drill. At one point Evan shouted at me to kick hard during it, and I announced my hatred of it. The bonus of having your head out of the water. :p Then Reu shouted at me, "Come on, little triathlete!" Yeah, I know, I need the practice. Stupid drill.
