meets leading up to region

so before i get to the best part,,,the region swim meet i have to first describe what lead up to it. I had other swim meets before and in one i swam the 100 fly. my previous time was a 1:09 and i swam it with all my might and it felt so good and i was relaxed and ahh amazing. i ended up with a 1:05.27 :):):) i am so happy! i also swam the 500 free and this whole season i have not got anywhere near my best time. my fastest was a 5:52.52 and i was swimming in the time of 5:57 so i was like whatever lets just swim it and see what happens. i swam and would just randomly decide to go faster and o my heck i went faster and i ended up with the time of 5:46 ahhh! it was amazing like i was so happy and dont know where that came from. i held 35 seconds on each of my 50 for the whole 500. (need i remind you that there are 10x 50's in a 500). the meet before this one that i am describing i swam the 200 freestyle. that is a very tough race because it is a distant sprint! anyway my fastest was a 2.08 but just like the 500 i was swimming in the 2.12 range, not fun. so i was nervous but way pumped up for it. i ended up swimming a 2.07.66. havent been so happy haha!
