Long story short: today was invited to swim in a gala tomorrow! I accepted! I haven't swum competitively in almost 2 decades!
Any advice for the race?
Things like diving play no part in my usual swim! I have old memories of water getting into goggles after dive and swimming blind thereafter!

Update:
I intended to do a few test dives in the early a.m to replicate race like conditions!
Well, on the first dive, my trusty goggles that have kept going for a year gave way and BROKE!
LOL!0 -
Oh no!! How was the race?0

Hey!
Went alright though my experience was repeated - new goggles came off when I dived in for butterfly leg of IM!
Came 2nd in both events so satisfied with how things went!
Now need to look for a team to start interval and sprint training!

WOW! Considering you haven't swam competitively for so long that is amazing and definitely inspirational!0

Raining this morning so no early morning swim or run/gym. Instead, I spent sometime looking at technique issues online.
These links seem to have the solution to the "goggles coming off" issue that bothered me last week!:
