1st hi-pop meet!
argh stupid firefox just hung so i have to retype my whole post all over again. WTF
anyway here i am blogging one day late as usual. ><
yesterday was the first hi-pop meet. [hi-pop stands for high performance league] we were training and then all these elite/sicc ppl started to arrive. [neither team has enough ppl so they combined into one team] and we were doing all the breast drills like the kickboard one and i think we must've looked quite silly :|
i was panicking cos i though i saw all these big ppl and i thought they'd surely be faster than us. apparently i'm even blinder than i thought without my glasses and they were onlt about div's size. lol.
anyway before the meet jaan got us all together and went through our events with us. peck realised she was doing 4 events [the max allowed is 3] and when she told jaan he was like "F***!" and when he was trying to re-arrange the people he was like" i hate it when this happens! its so F***ing annoying!" and he suddenly noticed that the swimmers were all staring at him and he was like"oh sorry" lol. amusing.
ok so the meet started at abt 1830? not sure. and the first event was the medley relay. thought i was gonna do like a 1.15 or sth for my 100 back and thats like really slow but in the end i did a 1.11. how cool is that? haha. thats pb + 1 btw. and then after that i had a sooper long break cos my next event (100 back again) was the last event before the free relay which was the last event. and most of that time was spent eating rachel yeo's nicenice cookies, cheering, and slacking around. anyway for my individual 100 back i did 1.12. tired already la. but i realised that both those times were faster than asean's 1.13 even though i was all rested and everything at asean and not last night. oh well. at least i know i should be able to go faster than 1.10. [i hope]
straight after that was free relay. i was still shaking when i got on the blocks. but not bad i did a 1.05. haha. pb+1 also. wem la. i was tired! -excuses excuses- but overall i was quite pleased with my times. was actually rather amazed with the 1.11 for back. whee~
hmm. the parents went out for dinner so we ate dinner at the club. addy+rachyeo went into the palms to eat cos they didn't wanna squeeze at a table with me + wen + jgan + samm + kang. -.- but had beef noodles for dinner follwed by chendol for dessert. yumyum ^^
me and wen also completed the ssc elite squad tshirt design thing last night. i think the designs are up on ssc swimnatics so elite squad ppl go take a look kae. yay they're nice.
yea i think that was the day in a not-too-small-nutshell. =))) oh and i have to chabge my jiang for the next 7 weeks cos of the hi-pop meets! -wahh
