Ts'day

My Thursday was quite enjoyable, so here we go, step by step!

Around 8 i got out of bed, and ate a bowl of bran flakes while watching Sky News. Then Gav gave me a lift to the Grove, except the journey took about 10 years as the traffic was hugely heavy. So, i got to the pool, said my hellos, did my warmup, then had to do the first event, 50 freestyle. Now, since this was the Open Championships, that meant i was against big tanks who have been living 5-10 years more than i have. But anyways, i made it to the semis. Then i, as we usually do, dossed about and looked at my physics book for a while, then we got in and did our 4x100 medley relay, which was fully good. I made my best swim in the last 6 months, and banged out a big cool PB. (i was swimming last leg, the freestyle one).

So anyways, it was 1pm and everybody was clearing off, as the next session wasn't due to start til 4.30. I managed to hitch a lift off this cool guy from Lisburn (i can't remember his name right now), but it was the first time i'd talked to him, and he gave me some good convo on the way to town in his car. Also, he said he thinks the amount of swimming i do is fine, which is nice to hear. The guy swum loads when he was 16/17, then got fed up, then came back. But yea, he's a pretty good legend.

Spent like an hour looking about town, and as hardcore as i was, i had 70p in my pocket. Eventually when i got bored, i scrounged a half single on the 2F bus to some random suburb of Belfast which i've never been to, and got off at the pool. One thing i noticed in town: why were so many kids not at school? 2pm, and 10 year olds everywhere in Castlecourt!

My finals went alright but not awesome, but i don't really care as i got that time earlier. And there was good craic going round with all the other randomers from all the other clubs. Now i'm preparing for a non uniformed Friday, and what should be a kick ass display from the UYJO tomorrow night!
