2005 Oregon State Championships, Day Two
I swam the 200 meter free, 50 meter free, and the freestyle leg of our 200 medley relay today. I got 2:19 in the 200 free, and my old time was 2:21, but Kate was mad because I negative split it. I was racing Brian Cha, and he beat me by 2 hundredths of a second! We’re always annoyingly close. He says he got a 2:17 for his split in the relay though.
I was two seconds off a 14 year-old Sectional time, and I got 11th place. Oh well, at least I beat my time.
In the 50 free, I got 28.81, from a 29.18 (it might be 29.10; the heat sheet said 29.18, but I’m not sure if that’s right). I got a 14 year-old Sectional time by 28 hundredths of a second and I was 5 hundredths of a second off Kyle’s time! I also tied another guy. I had the 8th fastest time, but I got 9th, because Brian Cha and someone else tied in 7th just two tenths of a second ahead of me.
Our relay didn’t do very good — we got 2:28. Kate was really happy with my split for the 50 free leg though; I got 29.9 from a push.
Our team is in 6th so far. We have one more day to move up within the top three.
