As you know, I cut my finger in a chainsaw deal and got stitches and wasn’t able to swim for the past two weeks. Today I finally was able to get back in the water. It was sprint day, awesome. Sprints wouldn’t show off how badly I got out of shape. They still did. I didn’t do as bad as I thought I would, our main set was 6×75 all out sprint from the blocks. My coach said “If you aren’t throwing up, your not trying hard enough.” Although I didn’t throw up I ripped my finger skin which needs to re-heal, but I was able to maintain a 42 second average. Not bad. I just need to keep going to get back up and ready for HS season.
In non swimming related news, today was the first day of No H8 week, we were to wear blue for people with disabilities. I was shocked by the amount of people participating. Only one kid in my class is blatantly against this week, mostly because he is very against gays. I’m excited to see him surrounded by people wearing pink and purple tomorrow for LGBT awareness. Hope all of you had a wonderful Wolf Shirt Wednesday and were able to catch the Real World! Also!
