Swimming Racing

In the weekend, I woke at 5am at got up to get ready for my EARLY bus ride to Palmerston North for my swimming races. The warm up was at 8.30am so I was on the bus at 6. The trip was a long journey down the long straight roads (well, it felt long!) and we finally arrived at the pool. I got changed, had my warm up and now the LONG wait started for my race. My first race was 50m freestyle which I got a time of 38.18 seconds. Another break and I was eating chippies. My next race came in a rush and was 100m freestyle with a time of 1.26.22 mins. But as I just finished my race, I was called up for my 3rd and final race which was  50m breaststroke. My time wasn't too bad with 55.81 seconds but I am still happy with it. We ate some pizza and jumped back on the bus for the second bus trip home. We watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 on the television the surprisingly had in the bus. As i fell asleep, we arrived back home and I received plenty of hugs! :)

Getting Ready for the Production

The Production is coming up real soon and i need to get ready for my role as the Ugly Duckling. I need to know what sides I come on from and exit off. My costume is needing to be finished by adding a head to the outfit. The class dance is going well but the practises needs to be faster. My goal for the week is to get my costume finished and out of the way so I can practise my outfit changes.

My favourite Olympic Sport

My favourite Olympic sport in definitely the triathlon. One, because my cousin races in them and two, because the sport has a variety of different muscles that you have to use. The first of part of the triathlon is the swim. The swim is an important part of the race as you need to have a good start in the race. All the transitions are really important in the race because if you come out first but can't but your shoes on, you might drop back and can't start up again.

Next is the bike which you need to make into the first group for otherwise you probably can't catch up. You need to go at a medium speed as you need to save your legs for the run.

Running is a key part of the triathlon as the run is to the finish line and you got to keep your speed up with a front group. If you can't get to the front group, you will have to work your hardest for the front group.

If you are good at a variety of sports, are good at saving energy and love trying you hardest, then I think triathlons are for you.

Start of a triathlon!
