Finally, the swimming competition is over. I don't really know if I'm satisfied with the results though. I decided to forfeit the 800 meter one, because I knew that I wouldn't get into the limit, which was 12 minutes, so other than wasting energy to doing it, I decided just to save the energy for 200 meter and 100 meter. For 200 meter, there were 5 people doing it. When I jumped in, water rushed into my goggles. I panicked for a few seconds, since if I wasn't able to see clearly, I would be nervous and it would affect me a LOT. Fortunately, only a little water went into my right eye's goggles. I was still able to swim, and I got the third place in the end. I was satisfied with the results, because I at least won two people, even though I got slower by one second. That was something I couldn't accept though. I've been practicing so much lately, and so the results should show improvement, but for some reason, it showed otherwise. And for the 100 meter, I did poorly according to Frank and Annie. The score was the same as last time, but Frank and Annie said that my arms didn't move quickly. It was as if I was relaxing. That was quite sad to me because I felt like I was dying after the competition, but they thought I was fooling around. So, I am ok with the results this time, even though I expected a little better than this.
