Last weekend I swam in my first meet in 14 years, you can read about it here. To my surprise I found out that I broke the Utah Masters Swimming 35-39 male 50 meter short course freestyle record. Well what do you know, I haven't swam a race in fourteen years and I manage to break a record. The record I broke was held by Troy Blanchard - IGLA 27.00 7/21/2005. I went 26.78. Here is the catch though. It won't hold. We only had two watches timing the race and no automated timing system. You have to have three watches to make it legit. Considering that I hadn't jumped off a block in fourteen years and my goggles came off I think I can do it again. Next time I will make sure they have three watches. Below are the records that were broken. My college coach broke a few too. Life Time might need an automated timing system for next year.

50m Freestyle I broke the record in that doesn't count
Just have to do it again I suppose.
FYI - the record will count! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteReally? I didn't think it would because of the watches. I thought you had two but you have three in there. Julie wrapped up four it looks like. Nothing like a short course 25m meet, they are rare.
