A-meet!

The A-Meet was yesterday, today, and tomorrow! So far I have done quite well! I dropped time in my 2 events yesterday, 200 back and 400 IM, and today I was right on my best times! I placed in both of my events yesterday, 5th and 3rd. I got a flower!!!! It was really fun last night. Today was fun too! I will be sure to tell you how I do tomorrow. I also want to tell you about my blog's anniversary! It's coming up! I am going to have a totally, wicked, blog on my anniversary. Anyway back to the A-Meet. Tomorrow my first event is the 200 free, and I'm going for the JO! I know I can get it. I think I am also swimming the 100 free and 100 back, but not positive. The pool we are swimming at is really awesome! I've never been to it before, so this is my first meet at it. It's very fast too. The only down part is that we have to dive off towels because the blocks are too slippery. We could get hurt if we slipped. I understand. I would also like to ask you to check out my youtube.com channel at:

More videos coming soon!

Anyhow, I should probably go eat some dinner. Watch tomorrow for my next blog!

The rest of my results

I got one best time last Sunday! 50 fly, I dropped a second. I was right on my best time in my 200 free. Oh well, I didn't drop. That's okay! I'll do better next time! Anyway, tomorrow is going to be a fun day! My 2 friends play basketball and I don't. They always say I should come to one of their games, so this time, I AM! I'm going with my other 2 friends that don't play b-ball either. It's going to be fun! I have to rush from the pool to my school to see their first game, then I am going to hang out with them and wait for the second game. Hope they do well! I'm very bored right now, and I think I'm going to catch up on my zzzz's. Hehe. Oh I should also tell you, my friends and I are FINGER-KNITTING the American Flag!! It's really awesome. We have to do the blue square and some more stars, finish sewing all the stripes together, and we're done! We started last week! We are fast. There is 8 of us though. I will put a picture on my blog when we finish it. I am thinking we will finish it Thursday or Friday. I think I'm gonna go play Cube World with my brother. Talk to you lata!!!!

Shark Meet!

Well right now the morning session is swimming in the Shark Meet. I'm in the afternoon. Yesterday I got a best time in my 100 free, and we got out JO in the 400 freestyle relay!!!!! WOO HOO! I didn't get best times in everything, but that's okay, because I just had 100% best times at Indy, which was 2 weeks ago. You can't get best times at every meet. Today I am swimming my big race, the 200 free! I'm really excited about that. The pool is really fast, and short. The blocks are weird though. They are super low. But they still make me have a fast dive!!!! I hated warm-ups though. I hope they spread us out a little more,  but that probably won't happen. I'm not even kidding about this. We had at least 30 kids in our lane. NOT KIDDING, NOT EXAGGERATING! 30-45 kids in our lane! It was so crowded. And this one girl from Gold 2 was being really mean. I'm a lot faster and she wouldn't let me go ahead. Don't tell anyone but I turned around with in front of her and it worked! I got ahead. But she kept scratching my feet so I just kicked her. Haha. That's what we swimmers do. Anyway, I'll blog again tonight after I'm done swimming. Toodles!

Did you like those warm days?

Hiya! Sorry I didn't blog sooner, but there has been nothing to blog about really. Did you guys like those warm days? I know I did! It was 65 degrees! I wore a light jacket and some capris! It was pretty awesome! I went outside and rode my bike, and I also went to my Grandma's house. We went for a mile long walk. It was fun. I always have fun at her house. As I said, I went for a bike ride. I went with my dad, my mom, and my dog. Yes, my dog. You were probably thinking my brother, but he was playing with his friends. My dog can run with us because there is this special thing like a collar on my dad's bike and it just hooks on the bike then you put it on her, and she can run with us. If you get ahead of my dad, then she runs really fast, and all my dad has to do is steer. What did you guys do when it was warm? Spring break is in April, which is coming up soon! Everyone thinks, ugh its two months away, its not even close! Well it is actually. The year has been flying by, so before you know it, it'll be warm and sunny, and you'll be on break! Oh and I just remembered! I have a youtube account now, I just made one. I have 2 videos, because the one about Valentine's Day stopped early, so I deleted it. Please check them out at www.youtube.com/swimminginchlorine

Thanks!

Mistakes Michael Made

Most of you have probably not heard about the breaking news because it came out today so I will inform you. Michael Phelps was caught smoking pot. Yes that's right, you heard me, smoking pot. Michael Phelps is 23 years old and was out partying a few months ago at a college. He committed this crime about 6 months ago but they just caught him.  One of the students handed him the pot and he knew exactly what to do. This is one of the big mistakes he has made in the past years. Drunk driving, using the wall as a bathroom in a hotel room, and now this?! I, and many of my swimming friends, always thought Michael was like an idol to us. We did reports, made posters, always talked about him, and ALWAYS watched the news if he was on it. Now, we are really disappointed. If you want to learn more please visit www.swimroom.com

Michael said in his newest blog on www.swimroom.com "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgement. I am 23-years-old, and despite the success I have in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public - it will not happen again."

That is what Michael Phelps said on February 1, 2009 at 1:32 PM. Can we believe it?

Indiana!

Guys I am so sorry I didn't blog sooner! I feel really bad.  Last weekend we had a meet in Indiana. It was the the BB meet. Friday I swam the 500 and free and.......... GOT MY JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My time was 5:49. something. Then on Saturday I swam the 200 IM, 100 fly, and 50 free and a relay. I got best times in everything! Except the relay because it doesn't count since its not individual. But we still did good in that! Then on the last day I swam the 200 free, 100 free, and 100 back. I got best times in all of those too! Here are my times:

200 IM- 2:38 (Dropped 2 seconds)

100 fly- 1:15 (Dropped 3 seconds)

50 free- 29.71 (Dropped a little)

200 free-2:15.01 (Dropped 1 second)

100 free- 1:03.00 (Dropped 2 seconds)

100 back- 1:13 (Dropped 2 seconds)

Those are my times! My friend, Katie, didn't get to go, and she really missed me and all my friends that went. I did bring my computer to talk to her, and that was fun. If you are some of my friends that went, then we had very good memories didn't we?! Thanks for looking at my blog. I will have a new one later today. GO PAWW! GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE WHO WENT TO THE MEET! And of course I missed you Katie.
