(no subject)
heh. so i get to practice this morning, and Bill hands out papers to us while we're stretching. Dave explains that these are what we're probably swimming at 7 sisters this weekend, which is a big meet for the 7 sisters schools:
Vassar
Smith
Wellesly
Bryn Marr (sp?)
Radcliff
Barnard
and of course..Mt. Holyoke
I dont know how many of these teams are actually competing...but ya. So I look around, and everyone's got a few events on their papers, 3-4 i would say. I look down at mine...
500 free
200 IM
----
400 IM
100 fly
---
200 free
1650 free
I just start laughing.
Everyone asks me what mine says, and I read it outloud, and they laugh too. Elizabeth tells me I can do it, but i'm still laughing. then dave tells us we'll only be swimming 4 individuals and 3 relays...so luckily I wont be swimming all of those, and it's broken up in to three sections over 2 days.... If I had my choice, I'd love to do the 500, 200 IM and free, and the 1650. I have no option wth teh 500 and 1650, but the other stuff is up in the air. I can do the 500 and the 200 IM on the same day cake- i've been doing it for years for dragons at champs. That and the 4x100, and got PRs each time pretty much. So taht's totally cool, I could definitely do that. That 400 IM though, man I'd totally rather not do that. The 100 fly would be pretty hot, I miss swimming that sooo much. That and the 200 IM. *sigh* I mean i'm glad i'm getting points, but freestyle gets boring after a while. And that 1650...heh. Dave wants mebetween 18 and 19 minutes...preferably at 18 something. 33 50's. 66 lengths. at an 18:30..that would be...holding 33.63....for 50's...1:07's for 100's...haha. That's a 5:35. 3 times. then a 1:50. Mm, I'll be shooting for 19 something :), that'd be holding 1:09's, which is...5:45. that I could totally do... I think. :-/ we'll see. (i know that this means little to nothing to most of you...but ya. )
i'll update more later. sorry it's been a while
