blog – My last week….
My last week….
I travelled down to Swansea last Friday 19th Feb to compete in the GBR vs Germany meet.
I was really excited about racing some of the best swimmers in the world and it was really great that the Germans had come over to race us.
GB had a really strong team with the likes of Liam Tancock, Lizzy Simmonds, Dave Davies and Beck Adlington competing.
I had the 400 on the first day and was really pleased with how I swam. Having had such disrupted training over the winter and the early part of this year because of being ill a few times I am improving every week.
The GB team had a really successful first day and was ahead on points.
The second day went just as well for us as a team and we won 207 points to 109 points.
It was a great meet to compete at but the thing that stood out most for us was how amazing the crowd were. They were really supportive and it was great that people came out to watch us.
Thanks Swansea!
The next big event for us is the National Championships at Pond’s Forge in Sheffield from 29th March to 3rd April.
You can buy tickets at http://www.swimming.org if you’d like to come and support the team!
