Carbondale

Hey it's Splash again! Yesterday was the last day for Carbondale, the meet I told you about in my other post. On Friday, I swam one event. The 400 meter free. I started out with a time of six minutes and ten seconds and when I finished I came out with a time of five minutes and thirty-eight seconds! What a time drop!! The next day, I swam 4 things. I swam the 100 meter back, 100 meter free, the 50 meter fly, and the 200 meter IM. On my back I got one minute and thirty seconds, which was a best time and a JO! (Junior Olympics) On my 100 free, I got one minute and sixteen seconds, which was also a best time, and another JO! On my 50 fly, I got forty-three seconds, not my best time or a JO. On my 200 IM I got three minutes and sixteen seconds, best time, but not a JO. After I swam those events, I went to eat at Booby's, then I went horseback riding with my friends. After that I went back to the cabins, where I was staying and play with all my friends there as well. The next and final day I swam the 200 meter free, 50 meter back, 50 meter free, and 100 meter fly. On my 200 free, I got two minutes and forty-three seconds, best time, one second away from a Zone which is better than a JO. On my 50 back I got forty-four seconds, a best time, not a JO. On my 50 free I got a thirty-five, a best time and a new JO!! On my 100 fly I got one minute and forty seconds which was a best time, but two seconds away from a JO. This was one of my most favorite meets of the whole year. Every time it comes up, I am so excited. It's so much fun going there! I can't wait until next year!! Thanks for reading, and good luck in your sport!
