Tomorrow morning we leave for our championship meet--it's METROS at Rutgers University in NJ....
During my warm-up/practice this afternoon I felt pretty darn good...so I'm kinda optimistic about this weekend. The meet doesn't actually start until Friday...tomorrow we just get in...do our personal warm-ups and test out the pools and such.
But lets see my schedule looks something like this:
Friday: Prelims in the morning
200 free relay::(anchor) (9th)
50freestyle (34th)
Evening: Finals
relays get swam again regardless of what place we get because we're the A relay.
Hopefully I will be in the top 24 (top 16 would be nicer) in the 50 free so that I can come back in that...but....I'm going in seated 34th--(but...if I was doing the time I did last year at this meet...I would be seated 6th...so...lets hope and pray!!)
Saturday: Prelims in the morning
200medly relay (anchor-freestyle) (we're seated 11th)
100fly (19th)
--I was originally going to swim the 200free (22nd) but, it is back to back with the 100fly...and prelims the boys and girls swim in seperate pools, so...it was literally back to back, and I don't feel like that would be a great decison despite the fact that those were my two highest seeded events...because my 200free definatly would not have been as strong as it could have been, and there was always the chance that I may not go as strong in the fly...knowing I would be up for the 200free in less than 10minutes....so scratched the 200free.
Evening: Finals
again we have the relay again
(100fly)
and then the last event of the night is the 800freestyle relay (which is only swam once as a final thank goodness)...I'm anchoring that as well at the moment-but since I scratched the 200fr...I hope my coach will let me lead off so I can have a chance at breaking the school record in it, and get a flat start time. (we're seated 9th)
Sunday :Prelims in the morning
100freestyle (30th--but again if I was doing the times I was consitently doing last year I would be 14th or so)
400freestyle relay (anchor) (9th)
Sunday Evening: Finals
(100freestyle)
and the relay again
So thats my weekend.
