FINA Meet, Day One


It was amazing to swim against so many talented athletes from around the world. I placed 37th out of 42. I was happy to place as well as I did, considering I was seeded tied for last.


I am seeded better in the 50m BR and 50m BK on Monday and Thursday. No chance for a medal, but opportunities to improve my entered times.

This meet is not like any of the others I competed in, even in college. It's much more "official"-- I have to wear my credentials at all times, which is a cord with my ID badge in it.

I have left extensive plans for Mr. Baptista for Monday.
