Swim Championships are coming fast

I have officially decided a.) this month I WILL complete NaBloPoMo [lol], Anyways, tonight's swim Practice went really well, and we had a little race. There is a guy on the team that my coach seems to think I compete against. [well maybe a little bit, but that is a whole other story] So anyways he decided he would have the three other kids in my age group race me. Also, all of the 10 and unders were watching putting a lot of pressure on me to impress them :].

At first I was like "No Way," but he told me to pretty much toughen up and get on the block.

The flip turn killed. We were all basically turned up until the 25 yard mark, and then at the flip turn it hit me, why can't I just put all of my energy into this one lap and move as fast as I could possibly stand.

So to make a long story short, I won by two tenths of a second [and impressed the little kids], but here is the other thing, I cut another whole second off of my time. That is two seconds in one week!!

In Other [Swimming] News:
-I found out one of my friends is ranked tenth NATIONALLY in swimming :]
-I found out that one of my other friends that I also used to swim with is only three seconds slower than Dara Torres :0

Sincerely,
Deborah
