The day started out with the usual morning training of the usual programme of 4 sets of 20x33 drills (If you don't find it boring, I suggest you swim it 10 times a week).
Just this time, it didn't turn out quite the same.
After the freestyle drills set, it was fly drills. I was merrily just doing what I was expected to do, then Gary called me and he tried fixing my technique. Said something about me breathing too early. So both of us had a hard time trying to fix my stroke. I was trying damn hard to comprehend how to breathe not-so-early. What made it worse was that the drill Gary designed to help me correct my breathing was super duper weird. I don't know if I had been doing it wrong all the way, but it certainly felt like it. Although Gary told me I was doing it the right way, I couldn't help but be doubtful and think, "Huh! Are you sure!?" Hahah.
Then it came to the application part. After Gary was sort-of-sure that my breathing was a lot better than what it was, he told me to try swimming 2 strokes with the new breathing technique. I did what I was told to. I did it a couple of times, and then I stopped to look at Gary to see if he wanted to say anything.
Gary was smiling like a kid and he was clapping -.- Hahaha honestly my first reaction was, "What in the world is Gary doing!?" And then he said that I finally got it right, and then I was super duper happy. I did it a few more times, and Gary couldn't stop smiling.
As usual, Gary got carried away and then he started rattling on about my plans for the future. He told me I didn't have to do any IM events or breaststroke events for the whole of this season YIPEE! But damn, that means no 100IM! Nevermind I might ask Gary to let me swim that heh.
He also said that I'd be focusing on 50, 100 and 200 free, 50 and 100 back, and 50 fly. Haha nothing unusual. Those have been my main events since forever. But he also mentioned that I'd have to swim 400 and 800 free, as well as 200 back during the not-so-important meets. Zzz.
Anyway I'm just so happy that I finally got my breathing for fly right. Lol apparently Gary was so happy this morning that he asked me to go over to Westwave Aquatic Centre tmr afternoon and Saturday morning to train because he'll be there for Olympic trials. He even gave my dad his pass so that we could train there. Like omg lah I can watch the heats and finals of Olypmic trials without paying yay!
This has also given me more determination (: I plan to do my own exercise every weekend. Like on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings I can play tennis/cycle/run. I'd most probably run every Sunday morning, starting from this week because I'm gaining wayyyyy too much weight. Haven't been training hard for the past month or so because we had to taper for NAGs, then there was NAGs, then people are away at Olypmic trials so we're doing drills.. Plus I haven't done gym work for like forever! I think it was running steps that kept my weight from increasing. I seriously need to get fitter.
On second thoughts, maybe this is the reason why I have been gaining weight.
):
Hmm what happened in school today. Apparently my sis claims I was called for a swim meeting today at the pool in school but then I missed it out because no one read out the announcements in class today! Ugh! And I never expected to be in the announcement, because I missed the school swim meet and didn't get to go on the school swim team. Since when did they find me? Hmm :/ Will check things out tmr.
Uh, okay got nothing left to say. I'm most probably gonna get a new phone so yeah I'm pretty happy. LOL How could I have so many ups and downs in a week?! It's crazy man, who knows tmr I might have a horrible day -.-
Heaven, please don't make me look like an idiot.
