sprint meet

this morning I took part in a sprint meet containing only 50s and also 200m IM. I'm not much of a sprinter I specialise in 200s and 400s so I rarely swim 50s.

200m IM - first time doing it 🥉

50m fly - 4 sec pb

50m free +1 sec i felt so dissapointef after this one bc it was the one I felt most excited and ready for as it's been going so well in training I felt so down after not because of the time but because of how I felt when I swam it I didn't think I gave it my all

50m back - 0.4 sec pb my backstroke has kind of paused recently I seem to be stuck at similar times and I slipped on the start 😂

50m breast - 2 sec pb seeing as I was quite tired I was quite happy with that time I also was too close on my turn

overall I definitely feel like it wasn't my best meet. even tho I got pbs it's just the way I felt during some of the races after the 50 free I was too hard on myself and let it affect my other races I definitely need to learn to overcome that so it doesn't affect the rest of my performance. I need to understand that my performances are going to fluctuate and I'm going to have bad days and good days. today happened to be a bad day which my competition fell onto. I wanted to share so that everyone can understand there's not always going to be good days during comps and u can't be to hard on urself
