If there's a reason, it's lost on me Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see

I made it over to St. Pete and back alright; and the meet, itself--which I went over for--was alright as well. I wouldn't say that it went great, or necessarily even good, but just alright.

The drive over went smoothly, other than a construction snag on 75 just north of Port Charlotte, that had the freeway down to one lane, and causing a nice 40 minute back-up... at 10 o'clock at night. Ah the fun of watching your 1/4 tank of gas dwindle down as you idle forward for 2 miles, with trees flanking both sides of the road and not an exit in sight. Luckily, I did get through alright, got some gas, and continued north to the Sunshine Skyway and beyond.

At the meet, I swam 8 events (4 per day), and basically felt weak the whole time--and "weak" meaning I couldn't really put any force behind my stroke, which was just frustrating. My times were for the most part slower than stuff from last month, save a few random exceptions which were the same... hopefully this doesn't bode badly for Nationals in May. But in any case, times from this weekend:

(oh-ah: splits)

It has me perplexed...


And all our friends are gone, are gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
