Predict my times - first masters swim meet

Are you swimming in the shallow or deep end.  This effects your time as well.   Slightly.

Have fun.

Aggressive, I like it!  I dunno about that 1500 time though....  

Well....  since it's a 50m pool and we are using all of it, I'm going to say both!    No guesses??

No clue on others seed times but it's likely to be a small field and based on previous results from meets in the area, I don't think I will be under a lot of pressure.  You never know who will show up though.

I'll play

100 Free:  1:00.52

400 Free:  5:04.56

1500 Free:  20:45.62

100m - 13.45

400m - 59.88

1500m - 5:31.22

I'll give it a go. It'll be fun to see how you go through the 3 events...

400M:  5:07.14 (saving something for the 100)

100M:  59.01 (flat out)

1500:  (last race of the day / first time racing this distance) 20:29.99

I'll also be interested to hear how you meter your effort in the 1500...Good luck!

Psssst, in the pool not at the track!  

400 - 4:59

100 - 1:00.xx

1500 - 21:15

who said anything about the track...

I predict you will not be the winner. 

No. I want Pop Tarts and Piglet Pec Presses.

400 Free = 4:44.59

100 Free = 0:59.21

1500 Free = 20:42.51

Definitely guessing here...

100m: 0:58.5

400m: 4:39.0

1500m: 20:30.0

Have fun!

400 - 4:22

100 - 1:00

1500 - 19:58

100m - 1:01.87

400m - 4:43.75

1500m - 19:58.34

x2. Inquiring minds want to know. (That's redundant, but that's how much we really want to know).

Have you ever had one of those days where you were completely at one with the water?  You know where you feel all powerful and feel like you can conquer the world.  It's a wonderful feeling isn't it?

Well, yesterday was NOT that day.  In fact, it was the opposite.  First off, I'd like to say I love my flip turns and swimming long course is soooo much harder!

I don't have the exact times, just what the timers told me (manual timed)

400 free - 5:16 (I went a bit conservative with this but thought it was faster)
100 free - 1:03
1500 free - 21:18

I would say I'm disappointed with the results.  I felt a bit better when the winner of the 1500 told me he's about 40 seconds faster in the 1500 SC vs LC so that would have put me in to mid 20 range which I was ballpark hoping for.

Sorry you had a rough day.  How long until your next event?  If I have a day like that, I try to lick my wounds as quickly as possibly, then focus on the next event to provide inspiration.

The bold is really interesting.  I've never swam LC.  I always knew it was slower, and allowed for it in my prediction, but didn't realize it was that much.  That's a difference of about 1 1/3 second gained or lost between LC and SC for each turn for that distance.

Did I win?  My predictions were 4:59, 1:00, and 21:15.  Combined that's :23 off your actual.  Are you sure the prize isn't a puppy?

Winners are:

1500 - TriMyBest with 21:15 (3 seconds off)

400 - Rkreuser with 5:07 (9 seconds off)

100 - beebs with 1:01.87 (~1.5 seconds off)

Overall - TriMyBest was off by a combined 23 seconds.

I'd love to give a puppy as a prize.  In fact, right after the meet we met a 9 week old Bernese Mountain Dog that was about the cutest thing I've ever seen.  I should have taken a picture to give you.
