Boo-freaking-yah!

1:55, 1:57, 1:56



Today,

Swim masters,

3 X 100 10 second rest between, Those were my times.

MY TIMES!

Then, for a passing drill Coach goes to the slow lane and asks who the fastest in the lane is and the other two swimmers in my lane simultaneously point to me.

ME!


How ya like me now?!




* for those that have not heard/read me snivel about swim masters my previous 3 X 100 repeat times were 2:16, 2:11, 2:18 on 12/16 then 2:02, 2:07, 2:07 on 2/24 and I routinely have my ass handed to me on a silver platter by EVERYONE there.

my 100m swims are in the 2:15 range, esp if I'm going to do more in the pool after that. Monday I did finish one in 90 seconds, though. I was shocked. it took another 90 seconds before i could swim again.

great job!

I think it took me that long to do one 25 yard lap yesterday! Love the cats.
I need to put a little more effort into my efforts.

NICE!!!!! Good work lady, that's some freakin' AMAZING swimming skillz, I think.

Bootchez said...

Wow! I'm blown away by the progress you've made with your swim times. I guess the Master's business is really effective, or you're even studlier than I thought (and your studly-ness is already through the roof).
