Swimming

So, it's official. I am what is known in the sports world as a "beast."
Ok, so I'm not going to state. Or even districts.
But I just had the best meet of my life. I had to swim a 50 yard freestyle and a 100 yard breaststroke. My lifetime best on the 50 was a 29.67 seconds.... I hit the wall at 28.01 seconds, which is a pretty big drop for a sprint event. Then came the breaststroke, where my personal life best was a 1:22.96, a decent time. My goal was to beat my dad's old high school best of 1:20, and I came in with a 1:20.95. So, I didn't quite reach my goal. But dropping 2 seconds is pretty good.
So I repeat. I am a beast.
In other news.... no, wait, that's pretty much been my life lately. And now my swim season is over. I guess you could say that's bittersweet- I'll enjoy the relaxation, but part of me wishes I could keep dropping time
Oh, and by the way, I had to play "Over My Head" by the Fray at VI on Wednesday. Challenging song, but it turned out great. Other musical recommendations: Hillsong United. We played both "Mighty to Save" and "From the Inside Out" on Wednesday, and I'm telling you when you hear these guys, it just might make you say "Who's David Crowder?"
