DQ: Dairy Queen

Alright so today I had my first official swim meet. The past 2 meets I was sick, so I've been missing out. But now that I'm better, I was able to swim today. Hooray!

Okay so how did I do. Well I had 4 events:

1. 200 Medley Relay (4 people each doing 2 laps of a different stroke)
2. 100 Individual Medley (4 laps, 1 of each stroke)
3. 50 Freestyle (2 laps of freestyle stroke)
4. 200 Freestyle Relay (4 people doing 2 laps of freestyle each)

Okay, soo my results:

My friggin' first relay got disqualified. My breaststroker jumped in the water and immediately started doing dolphin kicks. If you know swimming, you're allowed to do that in any stroke except breaststroke. So we were DQ'd for that. I told him it was alright and that we still did a good job, and we did, but I guess I was upset about it because we actually could have gotten 3rd or so.

My individual relay, yay, I swam by myself, and I got a 2 second improvement! I was feeling happier about that. I ended up 2nd. The guy who got first beat me by about a second, so I was feeling pretty good about that.

My 50 freestyle, I improved my time by about 0.37 seconds. It's still an improvement and I'm happy about that! I ended up getting 2nd. According to Ryan I touched the wall first, but oh well, it's still pretty good to me.

The 200 freestyle relay. Well we got disqualified, whoopie. Apparently our 3rd swimmer left the starting blocks too early. Again, we could have gotten 2nd if he hadn't done that. But again I told him it was no big deal, and just not to leave early on his next relay. I was trying to be an okay sport but I think we should have won it.

And then I just sat around for a few more hours. Overall the meet took 4 hours. It was only a half good meet to me. I was disqualified for half my events. I think we should have won those relays, and I hope next time we won't get disqualified. I think we have some pretty good potential for it.

Lol :D
