I had a lot of fun hanging out with Chad and Chandra and the Fairmont crew. It's always fun to catch up with people that I usually only see at meets. Fairmont was pretty well represented and it was fun to watch my teammates swim and do well.
I haven't been training too hard lately, but decided to enter the 1,650, 500 and 200 just to see where I am at. My focus was on the 1,650 and the others were just for fun.
My previous best time was 21:29.90 at South Davis last year. On my last CSS test, I tested at a 1:16 pace. Theoretically, I should be able to swim a mile at this pace, which would be 21 minutes. I didn't think I would go quite that fast, but wanted to beat my previous best. I ended up between the two at 21:19.03, which was good enough to get first place overall (none of the fast guys were there). My goal is to eventually break 21 minutes.
I kept a pretty even pace through most of the swim, but felt tired towards the end, which shows in the splits below.

I almost missed the 500. There were supposed to be three heats and I was in the second. I must have missed the announcement that said they were going to combine the first heat. I was talking to Chad and looked up to see everyone up on the blocks ready to go. Gordon was in my same heat and he was up on the blocks. I tried to grab my stuff, but they were already blowing the whistles. I decided to just bag it, but then Gordon yelled "Josh are you coming?". I stripped down, grabbed my goggles and ran up to the the block. I felt like an idiot for holding up the meet. I pushed the 1,650, so I wasn't expecting a great time on the 500. I ended up at 6:06.04, which was better than I thought I would do.
I thought about just skipping the 200, but swam it anyway. I ended up at 2:17.60, which wasn't great.
Anyway, it was a fun meet and I was glad to hang out with my friends and get a PR on the 1,650. I'm looking forward to the next couple meets at Olympus and Sand Hollow.
