McSwimville Invitational, Day 3

Today I swam the 200 free, the fly split of the 200 medley relay, 100 free, 200 back, and 100 fly.

I got 2:02.76 in the 200 free, which is about a two second improvement. Kate said I didn’t go out fast enough though, so it could possibly have been faster.

In our 200 medley relay, Adam swam back, Nathanial swam breast, I swam fly and Raymond swam free. I forgot what our overall time was, but my fly split was 28.7.

In the 100 free, I got 56.29. I improved about a quarter of a second from two weeks ago. I was in Lane 1, but I won the heat and beat Mason!

I got 2:21 in the 200 back. Kate was really happy because I did what she said to do — my splits were 1:10 for the first hundred and 1:11 for the second hundred.

The 100 fly wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be; I got 1:04 (my best is 1:03), but there are a few things that might have had something to do with it: first, after the 200 back, Kate made Adam and me go warm down/up until the 100 fly, which didn’t give me as much time to stretch as I wanted. And then I thought I was in Lane 6 when it was really Lane 2, so I lost some time I could have used to stretch trying to find my lane. And then my goggles leaked.
Oh, and this doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but I think my hand hit the guy in the other lane on the last 25. Is that legal…?
