Last weekend I had another competition on 50 m long course. I'm happy with what it turned out as, in the end, did some small improvements or more or less keeping my times from previous competition in February! 200M butterfly was a hard one (🥈), still need to find a better balance in the pace during each 50 m and I felt very tired for the next one which was 50M free, showed in the results. Though afterwards I went home and chilled, which gave me strength for the next two races 200M free and 100m butterfly. On Sunday I had 100M free and 50M butterfly, did not manage to improve the times. I need to improve my training, perhaps I need to push a bit more and get out of my comfort zone.

this weekend I competed for this big tournament for 50 and 100 m butterfly and also supposed to compete in 50 m freestyle. Due to an important test in Math on Friday I missed the 50 m freestyle. But I did the other two with PBs (+0.81 s - 50 m and 2.26 s - 100 m). For 100 m I am reserve for the final and I might compete in relay medley, not sure though yet. It was a difficult competition but I feel great now.

I forgot to mention that last Saturday I also participated in relay 4 x 100 m freestyle, my time was 1:09.19 which was fine, basically keeping my time from last month. But last night I was called for the relay 4 x 100 m medley where I swam 100 m butterfly. I managed a great time 1:16.81, about 1 s better than the morning 100 m butterfly (1:17.94). I am very happy as I felt a bit stuck in butterfly lately.

My daughter is swimming the 2nd round of district trials for our regional team tomorrow. 100 Fly - she dropped 7 seconds off her December PB at the first round 2 weeks ago to qualify in the top 7 in the district

Last weekend I participated in the competition organized by my swimming club KR. I competed in 5 meets, 50 m long course: 50 m, 100 m and 200 m butterfly (for this one I qualified with my 25 m SC time), 200 m medley and 100 m freestyle. I also supported the team for 4 x 100 m medley (I did the freestyle) and 4 x 100 m freestyle for 16 y and older age group. My results are OK but not very happy, I missed to qualify for 50 m butterfly Great Challenge Gala (I needed to be 1.55 seconds better) and miss the bronze medal for 100 m butterfly (0.9 seconds away). For 200 m butterfly I probably did not focus well, my kick was not very strong and could not be consistent with pretty similar time along the course. Although for the relays (4 x 100 m medley and 4 x 100 m freestyle) we got the gold 🥇and bronze 🥉medals, I was also a bit off with my consistency: my first 50 m about 33-34 seconds while the last 50 m about 4 seconds more :(. To be honest I was not stressed, so I cannot "blame" on that. What do you think, any advices? Or, have you also experienced something similar?
