last night was absolutely crazy.
it turns out i knew like half the people on the other team, which was wierd. i used to swim with them at olde towne. i dropped 2 seconds on backstroke and ended up with my fastest time. it still wasn't very fast though.. then in IM i got DQed. he said when i do breast stroke, my feet pop out of the water, and they do, but he said it was illegal to do so, and it isn't. everyone was really mad. lori and rachel were both screaming at the judge, and so were a bunch of people from our team that were watching. and i had gotten my best time this season... only .14 seconds off from my time at state last season. oh well.... our freestyle relay was amazing though!!! it really close the entire time. sterling started and they were dead even the whole time. then caroline pulled us ahead. when elie got in, she kept us in the lead. we were a head by a matter of like 6 inches. when i got in, the other girl and i were almost even, but after the flip turn, she couldn't touch me. we ended up winning. it was awesome. the feeling of helping your team win was something i hadn't felt all season, and it was amazing to feel like my old dependant self again. it just goes to show you that flip turns really can win a race. caoches say that and you're like yea whatever, but they've helped me win quite a few times this season.
nathan said i'll be really good when i get back from SWAT. i really hope he's right. if he isn't, i don't know what i'll do. i really think a lot of it is mental at this point. i've lost my self confidence, and it tears me apart. oh well, right? SWAT and HS swimming will be good for me.
