[1-800-i-ship-it]

yo i just read ur blog description masterpost and u swam the 200 fly AND the 4 IM???? mad respect for that, i used to swim too and i fucking hated butterfly and anything longer than a 200

ahh asajfldka xD also thanks for reading through it!

ayyy fellow swammer! :DD lmfao relate to hating butterfly and longer events haha (ok i swam the mile once lc, and that was just nope)

yeah i did and god lemme tell u it was painful OTL my coach told me to sign up for long course 2 fly at a meet once and god that was absolutely terrible; fun story the timer was dysfunctional so a minute was subtracted from everyone’s times (not officially tho, just on the board), and there was only one heat so the times literally varied from 0:49 to like, 2:something which was p funny (in reality the times would be between 1:49-3smth)

idt i woulda survived without my friends cheering for me, i still remember the ded feeling in my arms on that last 50, the wall seemed like it was miles away...and thank god i didnt get dq’ed or anything, made sure to get both hands on the wall (getting dq’ed for the death events is literally the worst)

anyways after that i vowed never to swim the 2 fly lc ever again, and only do it sc which was so much easier

as for 4 IM my coach was like, u have the grit for pushing through these kinds of events and they suit you so yeap (u know that dreaded feeling when u gotta stay till the end of the meet for the long events...yeah); and i always got a look of “welp” for my breaststroke split cause i really sucked at breaststroke ahaha (...like, my splits for breaststroke were always downright awful lmao) also i never swam 4 IM lc and im glad bc that woulda been pure death

okay side note ALSO i swear i need a lap counter for 200s like u have no idea how many times i almost lost count for a 200 asjdkfaldhfjd
