Last night was swim banquet. First of all, a lot of fun, we had a gift exchange and some of the stories and presents that come out of it are hilarious. We also had a video which was probably the most i've laughed in a long time.
I forgot how much I missed swim team. Not just the team itself, that goes without saying. I think no matter where you go, if you're on a team that doesn't get money or anything special, that it's more of a hindrance then helping you, you're bound to have fun. The only way we can get through it is by having fun. But Swimming itself, the video was funny but had some good race shots. I felt the adrenaline going through me just remembering conference this year. The feeling that you get in stepping up on a block for one of your biggest races is just insane, I can't describe it. It's not like a game, where during a tip off, a kick off, what have you, you're thinking "ok I have to play good and hopefully stay in for a while." It's more of like "hey, I'm about to kill myself trying to drop an extra .3 seconds just to move up one place." I want to win now, I miss winning. I miss being one of the fastest, one of the best. I said at first that I came here just to have fun and continue swimming. Screw that. I'm here to win, to get faster and kick some ass. My dad won something like 3 medals at his nationals, well its about time for me to live up to that name. Starting at least this summer, I'm not gonna hold back anymore. Swimming isn't gonna be a hindrance, it's gonna be a blessing, and I'm gonna show this team what I'm made of.
