Arizona State Masters Championships

Just a quick update...I placed first in all my events (50, 100, 200 Fly; 50, 100 Breast; 50 Free; 200 and 400 IM) for my age group. Also I received a high-point award.

The meet was a lot of fun with a number of my teammates there. We had a really good time.

Fast Times in the Cool Pines

Yesterday I participated in my second meet since I joined the Sunfish. This time I was the only person representing my team; I thought it would be awkward and uncomfortable having a team area of one, but to my pleasant surprise it was an extremely enjoyable competition!

The weather in Flagstaff was beautiful: partly cloudly and in the low 80s

I won 3 out of the 5 events I swam...

  50 FL : 0:29.14 : First
100 BR : 1:22.05 : Second
100 FL : 1:08.00 : First
200 IM : 2:40.58 : First
  50 BR : 0:36.29 : Second

Some National Breaststroke Champion was participating and easily took me in both breaststrokes; I'm definately not a national caliber swimmer.

One thing is for sure, I have no endurance. I really need to work on that.
