2008 Cheshire Masters Sprint

Bit late posting, but last weekend (Saturday) was the annual Cheshire Masters Sprint meet in Macclesfield. I've not entered before, but because there was a good sized presence from the Stockport "SwimFit team" I got encouraged to enter. Entry wasn't easy because being a member of Buxton SC (about 15 miles from Macc) I wasn't eligible to enter!?!? Nope I had to jump through a couple of hoops and register with another (a Cheshire) club to swim for, and so now I have dual swimming nationality (Buxton, Derbyshire and Marple, Cheshire). It does seem a shame that, because this is a "closed meet" that the number of swimmers is more limited. Having said all that the competition was fun and I even had a first - both winning a race and also my first DQ!! My back-to-breaststroke turn in the IM was not only rubbish, but illegal as well!! (sigh). The highlight for me was my 50M 'Fly - 30.57, getting closer to that sub-30s barrier...
