So I just finished the first day of my competition. I swam the 400m freestyle and it was straight finals I dropped 9 seconds and came 4th in the 17 and over age category which I'm very happy about. However I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get 3rd I was so close and I feel like maybe I should have pushed harder

This weekend I had a competition and I’m happy with the results I swam. It could’ve been better, but now I know exactly which mistakes to focus on for the National Championship. I swam new PBs 100fly 1:03.74 50fly 28.12

How many alarms do you have to set for morning practice?! 🤣

I had a meet and I competed in 50,100,200 breaststroke and 50 free. A day before the meet I caught a flu. So that was bad. I had the 50 breast first I wasn’t feeling well, the race didnt get a PB and did it 42:11. The next race was 50 free and I was in the last heat of the 11 heats so that was amazing got a new PB of 33:12! 100 breaststroke I didn’t get a PB I didn’t even reach my last time I did it 1:31,27. In the 200 breast I lowered my PB by 3 seconds! I was so surprised because I was feeling my worst before that race. I didn’t get the time I wanted but for the status I was in I didn’t expect much. I did it in 3:15,63.

What’s your preference before a race🤨🤨
