Half term.

Bonjour! Sorry I haven't been blogging recently, but I haven't really been swimming recently as it is the half term. I last swam on Sunday and I didn't really do very well as I hadn't been swimming a lot. It was a two hour session and I didn't enjoy the set, I was very tired by the end. But then I went to my best friend  Carlann's house for a sleepover and I had a great time but I'm back home now. The Tuesday morning sessions are all cancelled so I get a bit of a break and I get to lie in, which I am definitely going to do! 

Rest.

Hey guys I haven't been blogging this week because I haven't been swimming this week as my dad has been away in Oman(I think) so I couldn't get to any of the sessions apart from one, which was Friday night. It was alright we just did dives and relays the whole session which was really fun! Well training is cancelled tonight so I get to relax, but that's after I do my homework, so bye!

Competition.

Hello I am back! I am sorry I haven't blogged but things have been going mental! Well I can't catch up on every session but recently I have been finding the sessions a bit tiring but I have been working hard. I haven't been doing brilliant but just working hard and focusing on my stroke. Then on Saturday we had the open meet. I got a few pb's although I was a little disappointed about my 50m Backstroke as I got a late start and was on pb but if I hadn't had a late start I might of got a pb. I enjoyed the open meet as I wasn't doing loads of races, so it was a bit more relaxing. I had a cold and wasn't feeling very well either so I think I did quite well to get some pb's. I had two more races left when I told my mum that I wasn't feeling very well, I had been suffering from bad headaches all day. I had the 50m Frontcrawl left and the 200M Breaststroke. My mum said that if I did well in the 50m front then I wouldn't have to do the breast so we made a deal.I was preparing for the race and racing 2 races before me was Carlann, my best friend from school who joined the club a year ago. She did really well and got my pb of 34 seconds. I was glad she did well but my competitive streak came out and I was determined to do better. I was determined to do well. I lined up behind the blocks focusing on the race. I was on the blocks and then the buzzer went I dived in and streamlined, I came up and just went for it, I was ahead by and inch. I did a fast turn and came up first, but still only just ahead then I absolutely went for it as fast as I could, put my head down until my hand smashed into the wall. I had won the heat and as I looked up at the board I saw my time. 32.91 seconds!!!!! A 2 second pb! I was so happy! When I got out and saw my mum after she was really happy, although she had missed my race to go and get a cup of coffee and was gutted to see she had missed it. When the results came up I found out that I had come third in my age group and won a bronze medal!!! Its the first medal in a long time I was over the moon! My friend Lucy also won a medal. well done! I still had a headache though so pulled out of the 200M breast and went home. We looked at the county times and the county time is 32.6!!! I am really close and I am confident that I will get it, especially as I had a cold! So I am really happy with how the competition went. Then yesterday I had a netball rally in Chelmsford. We won about 3, drew 1 and lost about 7 so we didn't do that well but it was a lot of fun although I got sunburn on my face and shoulders! I think I played well, I played GK (goalkeeper) for the whole thing. Then when I got home I said goodbye to my Dad as he is going to Oman until Thursday, which means I won't be swimming in the mornings this week, which means a lie-in! Until next time bye!
