VIT-HIT competition

This competition overall was fine, some PB's and some no PB's, although the last day was the most successful!

The competition started after school on Friday and my first swims were the 50m free and 100m fly. Unfortunately the 100m fly did not go as planned (and I mean it, I was very off) but the 50m free I was able to get a PB and drop some milliseconds, and also got a silver medal.

Saturday I only had the 200m free, and I was pretty disappointed in myself for how I performed, cause I did feel really motivated for this swim. I was off by at least close to a second.

Sunday, I had the 100m free, 50m fly, and (the one we've been waiting for) 200m fly. Just when I finished the warm-up, I found out that I was going to be the ONLY ONE swimming the 200m fly, so I kind of felt really special when I found out about that 😂. The 100m free went awesome, I dropped a second and got a bronze medal. What my coach loved about that swim was how you could see the sprint in the third 25, where I managed to conquer a girl next to me and that I did not gave up until the end. Just after the freestyle, the 50m fly was around the corner, and I was still catching my breath from the previous swim. I was 0.2 milliseconds off my PB, so I just took that as basically an improvement, cause if I'd have a little more time, I'd break apart the pool probably, lol.

And now for the 200m fly all alone, it was an amazing experience. This happened also two years ago that I swam alone, but let me just tell you why I thought it was really special. I did not PB'd, but as I was swimming, all the teams in Iceland started to cheer for me beautifully, I could hear it all around me. I literally wanted to say thank you to everybody who supported me out there, because it was such a beautiful moment. It filled me with love and joy as I finished the swim, and as I looked around, everyone was clapping and giving me whoops and hearts. I smiled to everyone, and that I actually really love the swimming community in Iceland 🥹💕.

P.s. don't mind the weird face I made, that's basically the only good photo I have lol. 🤷‍♀️
