Tonight was the mini meet.
Everyone swam only three races.
All three teams (5:00, 6:00, and 7:00) were there, and so we swam in different heats depending on our age, ability, and speed.
The three races I swam were:
200 IM
100 Backstroke
200 Freestyle
Everyone swam the same strokes, but the different teams swam different lengths.
My times were:
200 IM-2:35
100 Backstroke-1:03
200 Freestyle-2:12
I was the second fastest in my race for the backstroke, which I feel was my biggest accomplishment, because usually I am the slowest person on the 7:00 swim team. This says to me that even in a few weeks, my swimming, speed, and strength has increased, and becoming stronger even by a few seconds makes me feel good.
This mini meet was postponed to today because we had a snow day on the 10th, and then we didn't meet during vacation. This means that our next mini meet will be March 10th. It doesn't give me a whole lot of time to get faster, but I think that even one to two seconds, which is a lot in swimming will be possible, depending on what races we swim next time.
I missed swim team on Monday the 22nd, because I fell asleep when I got home, and when my mom woke me up it was already almost 8. I think that if I hadn't missed practice on Monday, I could have been even faster tonight in my races, because today was my first day swimming in more than two weeks, and so I was more slower than I know I would have been had we had the mini meet on the 10th, or even if I had gone to practice on the Monday.
