The meet...
Tonight my coach had me in 3 events. I got taken out of one (100 free). The 200 freestyle came up and I was nervous. All I could think was "swim swim swim" I heard "Swimmers step up" And the guy timing for me (brett swaney) said "Megan! The worst that will happen is you'll drown!" Which made me think, the worst that would happen was I'd get last. "Take your mark" I heard, "GO!" And I was off. I kept telling myself to remember what coach had told me. "Kick" I said to myself, "Don't breath in and out of turns." My mind was all over the place when I realized I just had a 25 left. I kicked as hard as I could and didn't breath the whole length. I slammed down on the pad and looked up to see my time. I got 2nd. What a great feeling it was.
Ashleigh was soo nervous for her 500. I was her counter and I tried to keep her thinking positively. She cryed and was shaking. The end result: First place for ASHLEIGH!!! I was so happy for her. It was her first time swimming it, she was nervous as hell, crying, shaking, yet still busted out first place. It was incredibly inspiring ;-) lol. That sounds cheezy but it's true. She beat the SENIOR on our team who had swam the 500 a million times before by like a finger nail. It was so exciting.
After we found out the score (120 something to 68) we went to the locker room. When we got out we ate food and talked about the meet. No morning practice tomorrow was all that was on my mind. I was so relieved to hear those wonderful words "No morning tomorrow!"
Now I'm sitting here. Staring at the screen typing away. Even though I'm tired and want to go to sleep I can't. My muscles hurt. But I can't fall asleep. hm..
