Yes, it's true. I am going to swim the 200 yd free in a Masters meet on Saturday. Not too big a deal for most competitive swimmers, but it is for me. Reason being is I never race freestlye events, except in relays. I've always done better with strokes, particularly backstroke. Because of recent "success" in my Masters swimming utilizing TI technique, time to test the freestyle waters.
I am more excited than anxious about attempting the 200 free, which is notable since the last time I swam it competitively was in my freshman year at Monmouth College. I was the only swimmer for our team, against three beasts from Villanova. Great memories. And, since having more efficiency and less resistance in the water, I don't fear running out of air. Nice.
I am also swimming the 50 & 100 back, and 50 breastroke. We'll see what Saturday brings!
