Lisa Blackburn took part in the New England Masters Short Course Meter Championship Meet in Boston recently.
Blackburn captured 5 Gold Medals and set 4 Meet Records.
During the 100 IM and the 100 Breaststroke, Blackburn also came narrowly close to breaking her Bermuda National Records.
Blackburn said, “I am really pleased with my performances, taking part in 3 races in the span of 60 minutes. This is a great way to improve my ability to race under pressure and while fatigued.”
“I am very pleased with how I performed considering the short amount of rest I had between events. It is great to swim times that are on par with the times that I swam at the end of the summer season last year,” continued Blackburn.
Blackburn concluded, “My results indicate that I am in good form and that I am on track at this point in the season to qualify for the Commonwealth Games and the CAC Games in 2014.”
In the 50m Breaststroke, Blackburn clocked a time of 33.61 capturing the Gold Medal setting a Meet and Zone Record, she stood atop of the podium winning the 100m Freestyle with a time of 1:00.35 once again capturing the Gold Medal and setting a Meet and Zone Record.
Another Meet and Zone Record was set during the 100 IM, where Blackburn won the Gold Medal yet again touching the wall first in a time of 1:05.77, her time of 1:12.35 saw Blackburn set another Meet and Zone Record winning Gold in the 100m Breaststroke and her final Gold Medal came in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 27.52.
