Junior Champs

this weekend i went to Junior Championship (LCM) for only one day due to me not liking the lineup of events on friday and saturday. so i only went on sunday.

on sunday i was the #1st seed for 100 back so i was feeling a bit of nerves. but on prelims i did the micheal phelps breathing technique and did really well. i swam 100 back with a time of 1:12.04 (dropped 0.60). and got 1st in prelims.

at finals is where…chaos… happened. i was super nervous, i was worried about everything, even though there was nothing to worry about. i tried to use the micheal phelps breathing technique that i had previously used at prelims, it helped a little. but i was still super nervous. i eventually went upstairs to talk with my mom, she told me to think about the camp and things that weren’t related to swimming. that helped me a lot and my friend went up to talk to me to distract me. i got calm and swam amazingly at finals.

i swam 100 back at finals with a time of 1:11.84, a huge time drop and now im a second away from the nationals cut. and i got 1st

so in the end, i think i swim better when im surrounded by my friends who distract me, or when im calm (obviously).
