ZonesWell, it's less than a week until Colonies Zones, and I'm getting fired up. Last night, my coach told me that I have a lot of potential. She told me that I already have the speed, I just need to build up the endurance. I tend to want to do the entire workout at race pace, which I can't quite do yet. As a result, I end up going fairly hard for about 30 minutes, and then I start to tire and wear out. She told me to back it off and focus on technique, going for speed only at those part of the workout when we are going for time. Anyway, the entries are finalized and our team is only sending seven swimmers to this event. Only two others are in my age group, but one of the coaches--who is 29--is swimming as well; he is only swimming the 1,500m ("only") which is in the morning, so I'm hoping he will want to stick around for a relay or two in the afternoon. I am swimming the 100m free and the 100m breast on Saturday, and I'm hoping to swim in at least one relay. On Sunday, I'm swimming the 50m free and the 50m breast. Those are the two events I'm most excited about. I'm going to have a big group of "fans" on Sunday, including my mom, my sister, my girlfriend, possibly my niece and nephew, and possibly my girlfriend's cousin. My older nephew was going to come, but he is with his father that weekend, so he may not come. I will post an update and results after the meet on Sunday, so stay tuned!
