I just realized that I've forgotten to write the blog post yesterday. I guess things were a bit messy and caused me to forget everything. Yesterday was the swimming competition for Hsinchu County. In the whole school, only Annie, Amanda and I went to the competition. Although the results were quite good, Annie and I weren't really satisfied with them. Both of us didn't improve at all, and most surprisingly, the seconds were exactly the same. .3 and .21. They didn't change at all. It was quite sad, but the good thing was that I got a silver and a bronze medal; Annie got two bronze medals and Amanda had a gold one and a 6th place award. I was really scared and nervous when I just got there because I really haven't been practicing for a week before the competition. So, during the practice time before the competition, I tried jumping, but then my butt hurt real bad. It didn't really affect the results I think, but it still affected my mood because it made me more nervous. When I finished the 200 m match, my legs were so sore that I almost couldn't walk. It was really depressing when I found out that I was the third place and the distance between me and the second place was only an arm's length. It made me feel sad how I could almost be the second place, but in the end, still only got the third. I would want to get a better score on the next competition, but before that competition, we have only one more swim team practice to go, because there is camp next week and the competition is right after the match.
