me again!

wow that last post was a long one! haha well anywayyyyyy.... i was talking about swimming right? okay... not a freestyle person. that's what i was talking about! haha...

anyway! i don't do freestyle but i do do breast. i went to Junior Olympics when i was a 10u... i went for 100 breast. i did really bad because i went and i was sick, i think i ended up having strep or something! but it was cool. also if anyone didn't know an IM is short for individual medley, a 200 IM would be 2 laps fly, 2 laps back, 2 laps breast, and 2 laps free (in that order). a medley relay is made up of 4 people, a 200 medley relay would be 2 laps back, 2 laps breast, 2 laps fly, 2 laps free (in that order each person does 2 laps of a different stroke). a free relay is the same as a medley just all free. well that's swimming in like one post! i really didn't explain much butttt.... im not gonna explain softball here. i'll save that for later :)
bye! i gotta go fold laundry *groannnn* and practice guitar!

Swim-meet!

Heyyyyy! i had a swim meet today in the afternoon. it was a middle school meet, just for the people in middle school.... i did pretty good (grammar says it's 'i did well'). i haven't gotten my times or official places yet but i think i did okay... i did 7 events. that's A LOT in a regular meet you can do up to 4 events. i swam in the 200 medley relay (i did breaststroke [breast]), 200 freestyle (free), 50 free, 50 butterfly (fly), 50 backstroke (back), 50 breast, and i swam 3rd in the 200 free relay. this is how i think i placed: 2nd in the medley, 2nd (or 3rd) in the 200 free, 5th (but i really don't know) in 50 free, 5th in fly, 3rd in 50 back, 2nd (YAY! i lost to a girl 2 years older than me so...) in 50 breast, 2nd in the 200 free relay. i know some of my times: 50 back i got a 37 (eh so-so time), 38.69 in 50 breast (YAY! 2nd best time!), 30 something in 50 free... i don't know about the other ones though.

i only signed up to do 3 events and a relay but for some reason my coach put me in those other events. i hurt my arm by pitching and swimming to much way back in july and i couldn't play any sports for about 8 weeks while i was in physical therapy snd my arm was healing. when i could do sports i still couldn't do freestyle or my arm (elbow specifically) would hurt. its gotten a little better but i still can't do the freestyle sets we do at practice. i can't remember the last time i did a 200 free in a race. i never really did free in races anyway, im a breaststroker or an IM'er. basically everything but freestyle! im gonna write more in a different post sooo bye for now!
