AMYMSA Masters Swim Meet

I swam in four events and did not set any personal bests. This is maybe only the second time this has ever happened in my short swimming career, and I'm fine with it. I was distracted by a few things before/during the meet, I did not warm-up, I was poorly hydrated, and my confidence was a notch lower due to discovering some problems with my butterfly on Friday, only two days before the meet. I knew all of this going in, and it helped me relax and have fun instead of worrying about setting a personal best.

100 IM: 1:14.12 was 0.26 seconds off my personal best.
50 Fly: 31.58 may be a mistake. If accurate, I beat my personal best by 0.74 seconds and beat Dan by 0.01 seconds.
50 Back: 37.23 was 0.69 seconds off my personal best.
200 Free: 2:38.16 was 5.06 seconds off my personal best. I went out too fast and got tired at the end. I also had lousy turns.
