RECORDING IS UPLOADED IN THE ACADEMY CLASSROOM!! What we'll need: Pen & paper. I'll take you thru one of my favorite processes to stay focused so you can CRUSH it at the end-of-summer competition. And then we'll use the Gatorade Half-Hour for coaching and answering questions. See ya shortly!! pic: last summer camp!!! 😍

So first of all I met quite a few people at the meet I know but also from the Swimpros Community I met with @Damjan Todorovski , @Dimitar Todorovski and @Edouard Plantet Vuc. Then I slept really good before Friday and also I wasn‘t really nervous the day before so visualisation really helped a lot and the other techniques to handle my nerves. For example last year I was so nervous I almost threw up the day before. So on Friday I raced the 50 back where I PBd by 0.3s and I went a 29.01. In the evening I then had the 4x200 relay where I was a bit nervous right before but could also enjoy it with the boys. So I went 2:11.1 but I felt a bit bad afterwards since we were second until I got into the water and then finished 4th which annoyed me a bit. Then the night from Friday to Saturday I didn‘t sleep good and long at all since our room was like 30 degrees and we didn‘t have air conditioning. Therefore I also woke up quite a lot. Then on Saturday I didn‘t race and I just swam easy for an hour and also cheered for my team. Saturday to Sunday I slept better but only 7 hours because it was also warm and my roommate was doing some stuff which kept me awake so that was a bit annoying aswell. Then on Sunday I raced the 50 free which was a 26.62 which was okay but I needed to breath 2 times and my lungs weren‘t feeling as good as they already did sometimes. 20minutes later I raced the 100 back in the 4x100IM relay where I went 1:03.55 which is a 0.2s PB but I felt like I should have started off faster since I started with a 30.6 the first 50. I knew I could go faster and then in the evening we did the 4x100 IM relay mixed where I really wanted to go sub 1:03. I went 1:03.78 which is still good especially at the end of competition and not sleeping quite good the days before. But afterwards I wasn‘t unhappy with my time but I needed a 1:02.6 to make it to junior nationals throughout the rankings. So I realised that and since it was the last chance and my big goal for this season and it was so close I just cried for like 10 minutes into my towel because I knew I could have done it. So now I need to hope as I‘m between place 4 and 10 to get into the rankings if people don‘t want to swim so that‘ my last chance and I just need to wait until Monday.

The comp started Friday with 200 breast, I swam a 2 sec pb from 2.41 to 2.39 and then 100 free, I swam my pb time (58 sec) and I think I could have done better if I had done a better warm-up. Saturday I tried something new on 200 back: to swim the first 100 easier so that I could kick about 10meters after the first 3 turns, maybe this wasn't good because I felt like I've lost the rhythm and swam 3 sec over pb (2.24). Then 400free I swam 4 sec pb (4.20) even if I could have swum faster the last 3 50's. Sunday I had my last race 200free, I wanted to do the national time (2.03) and did it, 2.02.44 My wins except the times were that I've been drinking water all the time and before 200 breast, 400 and 200free, I did with my coach 50's pacing during warm-up, which helped me a lot.
