Personal best
Over 110 Metropolitan Masters swimmers travelled to Harvard University's Blodgett Pool to participate in the New England Master's Short Course Championships this past weekend. A small group of us from Team New York Aquatics attended and swam our little hearts out. I was thoroughly inspired watching the seasoned swimmers at the competition, especially those in age groups 80-84 and over. Just before the start of Women's 100 IM, the host presented an honorary award to a 90-year-old swimmer from Connecticut. The man sets personal bests every day he's in the water. I was so moved by his gracious acceptance speech that my eyes welled and goggles fogged when I stepped up to the blocks.
This morning, Coach Lisa gave us a stellar main set:
400 Free, 4 x 100 IMs
300 Free, 3 x 100 Back
200 Free, 2 x 100 Breast
100 Free, 1 x 100 Fly
For some of us, the 3 x 100 backstroke was a continuous swim.
