Masters Short Course 06
Masters Short Course Championship 2006
This time I went for something I haven’t done since… can’t even remember. Must have been when I was 16 or thereabout – 200m breaststroke.
I hardly ever tried swimming breaststroke, mostly because I wasn’t very good at it, but every couple of years I made myself swim all three distances – 50, 100 and 200m. Just for fun, to see just how bad I really was.
Today I did it in 2:53.55 or a just below what I anticipated (a 2:55). A quote from Calvin & Hobbes immediately popped into my head – The secret to good self esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they are already met..
On the other hand, 200m free was worse that I thought. I wanted a 2:10 but eventually did it in 2:14. Things just didn’t feel right today.
Still… there’s always next year and the long course.
