The meet was a great mid-season motivator in a fantastic pool with great history. We accomplished a great deal of what we set out to do in Indy this weekend. We had over 75% lifetime best times -- including older swimmers whose lifetime bests are shaved/tapered championship meet times. Kirsten, Bobby, Lindsay, and Tyler combined for 18/19 best times.

It is always great to measure yourself on a new scale with teams and people you don't see everyday. It not only gives you a dose of reality, but reinvigorates you to train at a higher level. We have about a month of good training to finalize the base before we taper and swim our championship meets.
