Tonight was the celebrated 25th Annual JMM Alumni meet. The Alumni beat the varsity and the junior varsity teams for the fourth straight year. I swam fly in the 200 medley relay (27.71 - surprisingly well), 50 free (25.20 - a bit disappointing as I wanted to be in the 24 area), and the 400 free relay (55.60 - also surprisingly well).
The training definitely helped the long-term recovery. I was pretty wiped after each swim, but felt much better afterwards than in years past. The big revelation was that I can’t sprint anymore. I think I forgot how to get the muscles working that fast. So next year, we’re training for the 200 free. Teddy G. has a $50 bet to go better than 2:02 and I think I am going to help him realize that dream. (Because it really is a dream.)
The next step on the ladder is the Crazylegs Run in late April. Five miles through UW Campus. Then, a half-marathon in the Mad City Marathon May 30, 2004. Throughout this, we’ll get a bike and start riding. Fun, Fun, Fun.
