i raced 100 free and 100 back on saturday and i got a 2 second pb on 100 free (1:04) and i was on pb for my 100 back (1:14) but i was pretty disappointed in my 100 back since the pb is old and i’ve done 1:11 short course in the past without really trying. on sunday i had 200 back, 50 free, and 200 free. i was supposed to race the 400 free in the morning but my mom pulled me out before i woke up because i had a really bad nights sleep and physically i just wouldn’t be ready to race; i slept an hour here and there and then eventually managed to sleep from 5 to 10 in the morning. i added 4 seconds on the 200 back and went 2:39 but i guess a small win was that usually when i have a bad race, it sticks with me, but i moved on pretty easily and also somehow got gold. for reference, my pb is 2:32 short course from november and 2:35 long course, but both are old and i was really hoping for a pb. anyways, i wanted a 28 on the 50 free but i was getting really sleepy and i did manage to shave a few milliseconds off but i was basically just on pb: 29. finally, i raced the 200 free and dropped a second. this was my first time going sub- 2:20 long course (2:19) and im really hoping for 2:15 or even 2:14 short course next season. i was really happy with this time though, especially given that i haven’t been happy with this race since october. i did find out this morning that my friend who is my age, 14, went faster on her 200 fly than i did on my freestyle this weekend (she went a freaking 2:18 what the heck) at nationals, but i don’t think i should let it get to me since im overall just happy for her anyways. side note, im so happy spain won the world cup!! im half spanish and i did manage to get home before second half. i had a lot of fun this weekend and im looking forward to next season!

And why disappointment makes you a faster swimmer (camp talk from Mallorca). ***WATCH RECORDING HERE*** Disappointment after a race isn't something to block out of your life… In this one we break down how to handle the tough emotions in swimming, why process beats chasing a PB, and how to actually get faster. Here's what's inside: 👉 When you really learn more, when you win or when you don't 👉 The measure of progress that keeps you happy in the sport 👉 The training truth every fast swimmer already lives by 👉 The 3 recovery priorities in the exact right order We referenced the in-depth taper training we ran for the previous cycle and I'm attaching it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/aDauT5T6vkg?si=mIhCY2Pk6H0GltRw

I'm curious please vote below. Depending on the votes, Yul and I might be running a special training for swimmers and parents who want to switch to another club. We have been part of many successful transitions and we know what to do (and what to avoid!!) to find a great team & coach. Vote HERE 👇

Guys summer is getting pretty hot now. Quick reminder to drink loads of water first thing in the morning, throughout the day, during training, after training (recovery shake 3:1 ratio), and before going to bed. How you doing with hydration this week? Comment below from 1 (you suck at it) to 10 (you drink water like an Olympian). Go! 👇
