How I feel now.

There is a joke out there that says, "if i had one dying wish I would wish to go to a swim meet because they take forever" and they do they totally do. Swim meets aren't just swimming your best and getting a new best time and all of that. Swim meets are a time for you to show what you are made of to other teams and other team mates. They are a time when you get to show your coach and your parents if what they have been providing to you has really done anything or if it was just a waste of time.

No matter the meet I always try my best. Sometimes its not good enough but I am trying my best all the same. I really have expectations when I go into most of my races. I like to do good, sure, but I don't like setting a goal or and time that I have to reach right before I swim because if you don't make it you just feel bad about yourself. That is why at big meets you can really see this about me. I am not exited for my races, I am not really until 15 minutes before and I definitely Don't want to be there.

But when that 15 minute mark comes... be ready. I have given 14 hours per every week in the pool and even more outside training for this moment when I get to show you what I am really made of. I don't expect much out of my swims because I already have people doing that for me. I don't mean I pay them or tell them to do it. They are the people who train me, raise me, and help me everyday to see what I can really put myself into.

To those people to doubt, I am really whenever you are to gear up and race. I will stand fast and try as hard as I can whenever I can.
