Righty well a lot really has been happening with me which is why I haven’t been active so much but for starters, I got accepted into a national team in England 🎉🎉🎉, I had my first lesson with them yesterday and I got to meet most of the team, shocker how all of there national qualifiers are long distance to mid distance swimmers but it was great meeting the team and the coaches, I was welcomed very much with open arms and overall was a great time. So now including my time with this national team I’m going to be almost doubling the amount of training I’m doing a week, going from 5 hours to now 9 hours with 3 hours of gym a week. I also have got my VR set up so I’ll be exercising with that by playing “Gorilla Tag” which is really fun. So a lot has changed for me and I’ll try and get back on Skool more often. 😎

Sorry for the late post, I know that some of you wanted to know how it went (as mentioned in my last one). I had PB's only for the 50m's swims, which were the freestyle and butterfly (you all know by now that I only swim free or fly). I was proud of my 50m's, especially the 50 fly, where I dropped more than a second from my previous time, which I also got a silver medal. To be honest with all of you, this competition I did feel extremely tired. The whole week before the competition, I felt tired every 50m I did, even when it was an easy swim, freestyle. I just felt out of breath immediately! I did notice even at the warm-up that I was a little tired than usual, but I just went by it positively and forgot about it during the races. 100m fly went okay, I mean, the first 50m is how I wanted it to be, but the last 50 was hard. As I said, the week was not the easiest. Only positive that I did get to hook a silver so. Then my last races finally came, which were basically right after each other. They were the 100m free and 200m fly. The 100m free was smooth, same as for the fly, the first 50 was good, but the last was very tiring. I just held my time, which I know that I can improve because of how it was just the tiredness from the last competition and from the whole week anyway. Then the 200m fly, which was utterly exhausting, while the 100's only had one more turn before finishing, the 200's have three, which from the state that I was in after the 50's, how would I survive this one haha. Okay, so, first 50, very good, second, well, could be better, third, HARD, fourth, EVEN HARDER. My strokes were dying in the last 100, so was my kick obviously. I got a silver, and I was just 2 seconds away from my PB, so also another which I know I can do better on without the random tiredness. Now I can finally relax and do something else in Romania before the Tenerife camp. Looking forward to it! 🙂‍↕️💗
