The Langley Swim Meet



This weekend was the Langley swim meet. At first I was not looking forward to it at all because I had only got six hours of sleep so I was incredibly tired and definitely didn't feel like swimming. When I got to the meet I swam warm-ups and then after since I wasn't swimming the first race I slept in our van until I thought it was close ot my time to swim. My first race was 50 free. I didn't do very well. I added two seconds and I didn't place well either. Thi meet was very hard because there were many out of region swimmers at it, so there was way more compitition than usual. After 50 free I rested up until 50 fly. I did horendous in fly! I added four seconds and I palced veen worse then free. Fly is my best stroke so I usual do well but not then. After fly there was relays, finals, and then finally it was time to go home. We went to my aunts for dinner where my Uncle tried to cut out my in grown toe nail which has been KILLING me for so long. Especially when I'm swimming. After my aunts I just dove into bed and sleep until my alarm went off. I was so tired but luckly I got a nice nine hour sleep. ( Way better than six hours! )
On Sunday my swimming was even worse but I had a way better time. It was so hot out which was great and I wasn't as tired. In backstroke I got DQed which hasn't happened to be four about three years. I was so mad! The man said I was floating to much and wasn't using my arms. Hello?!?! If I was doing that I wouldn't have gone anywhere! Oh well, backstrokes not my greatest stroke anyway. After back was 100 free. I usually do well in it even though I hate it. I get super nervous for it. I alwasy feel like I'm goign to throw up. My coach says that means I'm ready for my race but obviously I wasn't because I added almost two seconds. Oh well.... I had fun at the meet anyway! I can't wait until next wekk when were staying the night at the agassiz. :)
