Canada Cup Competition
Time for some fast swimming at my fall competitions. I will be competing in the Canada Cup in Toronto this weekend and then will be heading down to Atlanta for the US Winter Nationals from December 1-3. Then our racing group will be heading down to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a week of hard Christmas training.
Recap of European Tour:
I realized I hadn’t updated my progress from last stop in Europe. Berlin was by far my best stop where I qualified 4th in both the 100 breast and 200 breast setting season bests and ended up 6th or 7th at night overall. I loved Berlin and was even able to meet up with some Stanford friends after the meet that came to watch me as well.
Best times in Berlin: (all times in SCM)
50 Breast – 27.73 (36th in the world for 2011) , (split from 100 breast)
100 Breast – 59.65 (29th in the world for 2011)
200 Breast – 2:10.03 (38th in the world for 2011)
