ECSC Winter Invitational, Day Three
My events today were the 200 medley relay, 200 fly, 200 back and 100 free.
Our relay consisted of Eric (back), Adam (breast), me (fly) and Raymond (free), in that order. We weren’t really expecting to do very well because Adam had to swim his worst stroke while Eric swam backstroke (instead of Adam swimming backstroke), but we did pretty well. We got 1st, and we were only two seconds off a Sectional time. I think our time was 2:04. My split for the 50 fly was 28.2.
In the 200 fly I got 2:21.99, a seven second improvement (from my last short course time; my converted time from long course is 2:23). I think I also got a Sectional time by six or seven seconds. John was happy because my last two 50’s were the same split: 36.8.
I got 3rd place.
In the 200 back, I got 2:18.52, and 2nd place. My old time was 2:21, so I improved three seconds. I also got a Sectional time by one second.
I got 55.96 in the 100 free. I just missed a Sectional time by .17 second, but I dropped 33 hundredths of a second. I got 4th place.
I’ve decided I’m more a mid-distance person than a sprinter.
