big penguin race day--before

It's been a difficult week, and training has taken a hit. Yes, I haven't been in the pool since Monday. Yes, today is a meet day. So it hasn't been so much of a "taper" as a "severely blunt end." Nevertheless, I'm going. I registered the following:

400 Freestyle--7:15
100 IM--1:40
50 Breaststroke--:51
100 Freestyle--1:29

Of course, I'm not all hellbent on the times. I signed up for this meet just to remember how meets work. Last time I was in one, we had cards to present to officials, and I had just voted in my first provincial election (let's hope today's race runs a little better than that vote did). Meanwhile, the difficult week looks like it might result in my getting back to work sooner rather than later. Again, let's hope.
