hmm. the second day of the sg open is over. and ive got crap news..
First Day
-the 50m breaststroke day
felt like crap.. morn was great, i felt great. but somehow my time was slow. probably stroke rate again? the afternoon was crapper. btw i was like 7/8th placing in heats. and last for finals.. with 30.83? in heats and a 31.19 in finals. totally something which digusts me. i was playing computer games the whole afternoon. was so tired.. and after warmup during finals, i fell asleep. fortunately austin woke me up. and i got to my event. but was still feeling lethargic. had cramp in the finals. wonder if the sleep caused it.. dam im dumb to play games for 5hrs..zz
Second DAY
-100m breaststroke and 50m fly.
Breaststroke. - hmm the heats was crapped. i was rushing my strokes, to be fast, in vain. 1.08.86. i wanna suicide alr man.. i trained like mad. yet so slow times.. i cant stand it.. then i was dying.. in last few metres.. was really depressed. i stayed back for like 1hr++ to check on my strokes.. serious, ask nigel or tze kang if u dun believe. ..
received multiple encouragements for the swim. from 1..2..3..4 4 people. yea ^^. houyes. then was like really worried by now. i went home, i stared at Professional Breaststrokers swim. 100m course. kitajima brendan jim. wadever. and i felt a wee bit better. was running their strokes thru my mind.
during the finals, the warm up, i paid more attention to the strokes. heres the warm up i did.
300m free swim
200m kick
200m breaststroke drill ( 2 kick +1 pull)
300m (2 underwater phrase to 15m - 20m free - last 15m build to wall +turn)
stretching
100m free
100m drill
3 dives to check distance.
1 dive for time (25m : 13.5)
total dist: 1.2k.
was pretty much easily warmed ever since i returned from aust.
the finals. ****
100m br. was mentally good. physically too^^. emotionally three ^^.
split 31.64 35.80 i think. was having relaxed long strokes. if u asked me to rate my effort, probably 90%. compared to the 100% this morn, and a much slower time. so i felt the strokes were good. will check it out tmr on the screen. however, i felt that i could have pushed myself to return faster. cuz i didnt really feel THAT tired. yea. probably could maintain this good pace for another 50m? will use this stroke for the 200m on thurs. looking forward to something good. ^^.
BUTTERFLY, 50m
i shant say much, but im happy with wad i did. 26.84, got 4th overall, and got a bronze medal. i can sleep in peace finally. in the trunks which i used in the 100m br earlier on + scotts cap + my gogs which my parents bought for me from japan. oh yes im happy :)
the 100m breast is done with tze kangs cap.
pretty sry that i have to borrow here and there(cap) but its cause i broke mine, and haven really got the time to replace it. till next time. GL all.
