Well.. this race was not what I wanted. I was in the fast heat, seeded 10th, which I thought was good cause it would make me go faster, but it also made me nervous. Some of those girls are really really fast. We did an alley start, which I hate hate hate, but it's how they do it at state, so I guess that's good. I got kinda boxed in when we all cut in though, and I was tripping on people for about 100 meters. Our first lap was a 1:10. That's so fast. I couldn't keep it up.. like 6 people passed me in the last 200 meters. I was pretty mad after. It was ideal conditions for a great race.. the weather was nice and there were fast girls all around me.. so I was pretty frustrated with my time. I was supposed to run the medley 4 after, but I was coughing so Mrs. Gil wouldn't let me. I really wanted to run it though. I want to get the 400 in quite a bit this season cause I want to have practice for the 4x4. |
