Finally close to my old PBs

I competed at a home meet this weekend, swimming the 100 free, 100 fly, 50 fly and 200 fly individually, as well as the men's 4x50 free relay and 4x50 mixed medley relay.

In the 100 free I set an SB by 0,6 seconds and only 0,3 secs off my PB from 2018. The splits reveal I have more potential (27,75-31,25 with a lot of lactic acid in the last 50).

In the 100 fly I split a good race (30,0-33,0) - SB by 1,1 secs and only 0,4 secs off my PB from 2016. I will work to open in 29 low and go home in 32 high next time.

In the 50 fly I used a lot of mental energy to prime myself to swim fast and it paid off. SB by 0,6 secs and only 0,01 sec off my PB from 2018. I was dead even with my teammate who swam a 27,3 after 25m but gradually lost my rhythm going back, so more potential there.

In the 200 fly I took too many underwater kicks the first 100m (8 each 25) and totally died the last 100m, going 5 secs slower than my SB and 9 secs slower than my PB. Will practice more for this race going forward!

In the relays, I split a 26,3 in the 50 free and 28,1 in the 50 fly. Not too shabby.
