My name is Angie. I live for the moments in life I can't describe with words. I still try anyways. Writing is my passion, and my life revolves around swimming. I live with happiness and love, and treat people only the way I want to be treated. This blog is my diary, an open journal of my secrets. Words heal me, and I only hope mine can do that for you one day.
I’m eighth in the district for the 100 butterfly. I got a best time by just around 10 milliseconds. As far as the 50 free, I swam in the “B” final and added 1 millisecond. I definitely didn’t tear myself up about that, because I know that’s not a big deal at all. Overall, it was a disappointing but amazing meet at different points. I was crushed about adding time in the 100 fly yesterday, but I made it to “A” finals and dropped time. I did what I was supposed to do, and for that I’m happy. I do wish that I dropped more than a second though. While in the locker rooms I was talking to a girl who I’ve swam with in relays this whole season. Her name’s Katie, and she’s the sweetest girl I know and I wish I could of gotten to know her better. She’s an amazing freestyler and when I asked her how she did in finals, she said “I PR’D, so that’s good. I got eighth place, but I’m not complaining. I mean that’s eighth in the district, so I’m happy.” I took that in and realized that eighth in district is not bad for me. I never even expected to make it to finals. Never did I imagine being up on that podium, when two years ago I didn’t even know how to swim. Sure, I beat myself up at times during districts and felt horrible, but in the end I know that I dropped time, and I gave it my best. I’m that much closer to states.
Tomorrow’s a new day, filled with the same events. My third chance this weekend to swim the 100 fly and 50 free. I’m hoping I can improve even more, all in one weekend. This whole swimming thing…..I never want to stop doing it.
