I had another swim meet last weekend.  We got to go out of state, stay in a hotel and all that fun stuff again.   I love out of state meets but they are tiring.  My swims were OK, I guess.  I didn't make all my goals but had some good swims.  I am within 1 second of several more A times in my new age group.  This has been a tough age up to go from 1 second from AAA's to 1 second from A's.  Ouch.  I had AA's and A's in my old age group and now I only have three A's (some of them would have been AAA's in my old age group).  I am so close to A's in a bunch though so I should have them soon if I keep practicing hard.

In another week, I have another meet.  I am excited because I should break 5:00 in the 400 meter FR.  I should be able to go 4:50 and get my first AA at this age bracket.  I would be pretty excited.  I hope to drop my 200 and 400 IM times, too.   I want to drop time in my BK too.  My coach is working hard on my backstroke to help me with that. 

Summer league starts here really soon.  I love summer league.  I get to go back to doing 50's and 100 IM again.  It is fun and not competitive.  I am in a new age group there too but should still do well since lots of the people don't swim year round.  It will be fun to see all my summer friends again.  I can't wait for it to start.  I will have 11 practices a week cause I still do my other USA team but that's ok cause I love swimming. 

Well, I am off to sleep cause  I had a really bad headache all practice tonight.  Thank goodness it was a recovery night so practice was pretty easy. 

Bye

Hey! Wow, you are so fast! I can't imagine swimming a 400 IM. I think I'd die lol!
I love summer team, too, even if it does get boring for me. My coach is incredibly boring. He doesn't pay too much attention to us, is the main thing. I still love summer team! 50's and 100's are the best!
Talk to you later! Bye
