Preparation

Sorry have not posted lately have been quite busy. Tuesday night I missed athletics before netball as it was chucking it down with rain. So I just went to netball and it was a lot of fun but very cold! Then also went swimming Wednesday morning which I thought went really well as we did a lot of breaststroke so I got to put in a bit of practice as I am trying to improve my technique. Also went Thursday morning as well and I have really tried to up my game after I talked to my coach. I worked really hard on Thursday night as well which was quite tiring but I am going to really try my best in training as I want to,as my coach says, go up another level. Then on Friday night we practiced our strokes and relays which went great and I thought that I was looking good and that my hard work has been paying off. Then yesterday was quite a relaxing day and I went round my best friends Evie's house which was really fun, and then did some homework. I have recently been thinking that i might start to write almost a little diary for my little sister to read when she is older about things she has done, funny things she has said and done, and just for her. Anyway I am now on my way to an M11 gala in Thurrock which I am really excited about for quite a few reasons. I am excited because my mum has recently brought me a new racing costume, it is a speedo lazor and it is really nice. Not the £300 suits that the top athletes wear just a normal cozzie which was £10! I find it quite hard to find a costume as I am quite long in the body but also quite skinny, so I find it quite hard to find one that fits. The cozzie is quite small, so that it will be nice and tight and won't rub. I am also looking forward to it as i like taking part in galas as it is very fun. We practiced in training which went quite well so I am ready to try and do well. I will report back afterwards on how it goes!
