The last three weeks I had three LC outside competitions.

I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time but to be honest I could have done a lot better.

I already did a post about the first meet so I’ll only go into the other two here.

I had so many races at the second competition that I don’t remember every detail but I wanna talk about two of them:

I got DQd in my 200 fly for touching not with both hands the same time at the 150 turn - maybe better that no one can see the time now😬
The 100 fly went a lot better. I had 1:02.0 in the prelims and 1:02.4 in the final. Quite happy with that result considering the races I had before

Backstroke was feeling bad all weekend and I crashed into the lane line multiple times

This was also the case this weekend. My start was on fire but I lost my rhythm and speed after 25 meters with a huge crash. Still was faster than the week before but still miles off my PB

Fly was feeling really good this weekend.

I was getting a lot faster and with every time race and also a lot closer to my PBs.

I had 1:01.6 in the individual race and then 1.01.1 in the 4x100 mixed medley relay.

We also swam the mixed 4x100 free relay. I went 56.51 so only 0.02 off my PB . Really happy with that.

We also broke the meet record in the freestyle relay and won 200€ for our team.

The medley relay was also faster than the meet record but we placed 2. so no price money this time. Still really proud of my team because the girls did an amazing job

Both relays are also new team records. This is my first one so I’m really happy with it.

Overall I didn’t swam a single PB, but that’s not that important for me. I’m locked in for the taper meet in 2 weeks where I’ll go for the 100 fly sub 1:00. This was my goals since January and now I’m closer than ever to it. Have to recover hard now and earn the results
