We rose early (6.30 a.m.), a small breakfast and the short walk to the pool for warm-up at 7.45 a.m.
Bethan was in the third heat and in a better lane - lane 6.
A very good start - completing the first 50m in 29 seconds and leading the field.
A good second 50m, completing the first 100m in 1.02.
The third 50m was good and she turned in joint 2nd for the heat.
However, the fast start had taken it's toll and the final 50m was 35 seconds.
The overall time of 2.12.50 was again respectable but the splits suggested better pacing could have delivered a quicker time.
Last race is 50m free on Friday morning .
