Agassiz Swim Meet

Well I haven't written for a while. I've been really busy with swimming. The past weekend was the Agassiz swim meet. I brought along Jody, Elisa, and Lauren with me. On Friday I left with just Elisa. We got there and it was pouring it but we still had fun. ( Well I did! ) We went to the skate park with Taylor, which is in the same area where we were camping and we played around on my brothers skate board. Once it started raining even harder we went back to our trailors and got into bed. We didn't get to sleep until late because LISA was being very loud. haha. In the morning I got up super early for warm ups. After warm ups Elisa and I watched Coach Carter in my trailor until it was time for my race. I didn't do very well. It was 50 free and I was expecting to make it to finals and hopefully get a best time because I usually do good in that race but I guess Elisa is unlucky! After free it was 50 fly. I added four seconds in the race but I was extremely excited when I found out I had made finals with such a bad time. I was hopeing to get a better time. At my 50 fly finals Lauren, Jody, and Terri showed up to watch. I ended up placing up one spot higher then I went in and I only added three seconds instead of four. So over all it turned out well. After my fly finals Lauren, Elisa, Jody, and I just hung around. We played some lacrosse, watched some movies, ate some goodies, and had a water fight. The water fight was with our whole club so it was very club. We also went to the skate park but it didn't turn out very well because there were some misbehaving teens there so we left. Later in the evening we did Karaoke. A bunch on people from other clubs such as Abby and Haney came to sing and watch. I found that it was very frazzled but other people seemed to enjoy themselves. After the karaoke we went into our tent and went to sleep. I was able to sleep in the next day because I skipped warm-ups and I wasn't until the third race. It was very pleasant! My first race was 100 breast. Breaststroke is my worst stroke but I did very well because I got my first best time of the year. I took two seconds off! I was so happy! My next race was 10 free. I was very excited for that, although I absolutely hate the race because it's very difficult. I was going into the race third but I ended up coming fourth because I added some time. That was alright because I still had finals. In finals I did even worse! I added more time then in the heats and I placed even worse! I was quite angry about that. Oh well! I had lots of fun at the swim meet, especially with my bestest friends ever there with me. I loved hearing them cheer for my when I was standing on the starting block and I loved how they came behind the blocks ( even though there not allowed. ) to help me get my towel after each race. I hope they can come to more of my swim meets!
