My masters swim club is hosting the Oregon Association meet on the weekend of Aprl 13th. It's pretty exciting to have a big meet like this in our small town.
I've signed up for 6 events. The 1500, 800, 400 and 100 free. The 100 IM which I did for the first time last year, managed not to drown and was legal on all my turns and...
drum roll please...
the 200 IM
To say I'm a little nervous would be an under statement. Not only is it questionable that I can even complete the 50 m fly part of the IM, there are several different turns that you have to do that I've never done in competition before and most people get DQ'd on their first 200 IM because they screw up a turn.
So here I am, unabashedly asking for some positive TE energy to help to calm me over the next few days and to carry me through that 200 in the afternoon of Sunday April 15th.
TIA.

It's yours, kiddo. You have more co*ones than most and they often take you far!
Let us know how it goes.

Good luck to you, Wahine! I know you will do great. I'm so impressed!! I can only swim well enough to get through the swim portion of a triathlon and then I'm one of the last ones out of the water.

Of course you'll do the turns correctly.
Good luck!

Wow, you go girl! Kudos to you for getting out of your comfort zone!
My coach wants me to go to masters swim workouts and I refuse. I like my little comfort zone.
Just the *thought* of swimming masters makes me feel like I can't breathe. Seriously.
I wish I had your bravery!
Susan
