Comments:

Nice day for a meet at one of the best pools I have ever seen. It looked like a division I pool.Only four swimmers from my team showed, not much interest from other teams as well, when they made a 10 minute plea for timers I new this was going to be a fast meet from lack of participation. I would not be so lucky as there were three heets for my one event. I just need to get this nationals qualifying thing over with so I can enjoy swimming other events like 100IM,200,500 free,100 breast.
Although I did not qualify for nationals with my 34:50(needed 33:40) I should be able to next year, I plan on bieng way more in condition next year as I will increase my sprint training.
What would you do differently?:

More kick sets,more structured sprint training with specific intervals.
Post race
Warm down:

200 swim

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Start; it just felt weak.Timing;my pull felt way stronger than my kick.Turn;it just felt akward and slow.
