Wow, so I haven't updated this thing since last August. Most of that has to do with being able to post my workouts to my Fitness Log over at USMS, and I don't feel like duplicating the entries over here (and I've been too busy to post workout reactions and such anyway).
Anyway, I thought I'd dust this blog off for competition type posts, since tri season is about to start, and I'm going to swim in my first meet this weekend.
Yup, I'm swimming a meet on Saturday. And I'm scared out of my mind, even though I've already told myself that no one is going to judge me on how poorly I swim (well, except the lane judges - I'm not going to be shocked if I get DQ'd in something like the IM because I have no idea what I'm doing) and I don't care if I come in dead last in everything. If I can manage to a) not break myself doing racing starts, and b) not vomit on myself from nerves, I'll consider the whole thing a huge win.
So, this is what I'm swimming:
50 free (seed :40)
50 fly (seed :55)
50 breast (seed 1:00)
100 free (seed 1:30)
100 IM (seed 1:50)
The only things I feel okay with my seed time on are the free races. The other three are massive guesses, since I don't sprint those that often. I swam some 50 breast this morning on around :55, so we'll just pretend I can do that in competition. The IM might be optimistic, as well as the fly. I guess we'll find out!
I will make myself write a post-op entry once I do this thing, so I can record my times and my reactions and stuff. Aaaah, I'm going to swim in a meet! Aaaah!
