My events today were the 400 meter free, 100 meter fly, and we had a 400 medly relay. In the 400 free, I got 4:56.80, which is a seven second improvement from my old time, and one second off a 14 year-old Sectional time. Adam was racing in the lane right next to me, and I beat him by just 18 hundredths of a second! As Adam’s dad said, “you can’t even blink that fast”. I took 11th place.

In the 100 fly, I got 1:11.56 — four seconds faster than my old time (and two seconds under my goal). It was also two tenths of a second off a 14 year-old sectional time. I got 7th, so I would have made finals, had there been any!

Our 400 medley relay got 5:07.9. Adam was swimming backstroke, Nathanial was doing breast, Andrew was doing fly, and I was doing free. We were just trying to beat T-Hills, and we probably would have if it had been just a little longer.

Tomorrow I’m swimming the 200 and 50 free. My best events.
