SPOOOK!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately. Really busy! By the way, I'm 12! Yep, I turned 12 last Saturday, the 17th!! Anyway, today was the last day of our annual meet, SPOOK! I got 100% best times, I am so happy! I had the best meet ever! Did I mention I had a blast? Well, I did! Guess what I was entered as in the meet? SPLASH! It was pretty funny. Anyway, I videotaped my friends' races, and chilled out with my other friends! Yesterday was probably the funniest day of my life! I swam, let's see, 11 events (9 if you don't count the relays). I swam the mile yesterday, and dropped two minutes! I'm going for the senior cut by the end of the year. I also got to see some of my best friends from other teams! Yes, if that is shocking to you, I DO have friends from other teams. Haha. I'm very tired though. It's been a long weekend. Right now, I'm watching AFV (America's Funniest Videos). It's pretty hilarious. Can you believe it? Halloween is almost here! I am going to be someone who was in a car crash, with my two of my four best friends! We are going shopping on Thursday to finish up the costumes. I'm so excited! Whoa, gotta go! I just realized how hungry I am! Thanks for reading!

Done with cross country, and swimming=intense

Sectionals for XC (Cross country) was on Saturday. I got my second fastest time, in the freezing cold!! It was really fun. I wanna say good job to my school, and all the XC runners! And also good job to my friend Jared, because he almost made it to state! Great job everyone! I had a blast in the season, and I'm glad I did it.
Today I had a test at swim practice, and it was pretty tough. I think I did pretty good though. Anywayy, for Jared (who I know is reading this), I am not corny! :D. Haha, but I love gold! Even though the boys can be a little, well, let's say weird, I enjoy it. This morning we had morning practice too, and it wasn't REAL hard, but it was kinda hard. Today was pretty hard because of the test, but other than that it was good. The test, lemme tell ya, was really hard! I got dizzy in the middle, but I was hungry. Haha, I'm always hungry, so like it makes a difference! Ugh, back to school tomorrow after a nice 4 day weekend. Oh well, I'll get over it. At least it's a short week!!Well, gotta go! Thanks for reading!

My first test!

Alright so when you read this title, you probably thought I was talking about a school test. Well no, I've already had about a billion of those. I'm talking about my first test, in swimming! We had to swim for 30 minutes straight (T30) and see how many yards we could get in. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it sounds. I got 2400, and the person who got the most, (Matt) got 3050! It's REALLY hard and tiring. I took it out nice and quick, then kept a long pace, and then sped up on the last 5 minutes. I was wiped after that! I slept good that night, lemme tell you. Today was pretty tiring too. 7000 yards total! The chlorine was really strong today, so everyone was coughing like mad! My throat was burning, but I worked through it. After practice I chugged like my whole Propel. Our practices have been really hard, which isn't surprising I mean this is gold right? Oh and did you hear? The olympics isn't in Chicago! Some of you may be bummed, but I sure am happy. My chance at making it to the olympics would be in 2016, and I didn't want it to be in Chicago! I've been there a billion times! I wanted it to be somewhere exotic, and guess what? My dream came true! Brazil! How amazing is that? Oh wow, I just looking at the time and it's almost 10:00. Gotta go to bed! Thanks for reading!
