Training this morning at CSC again.

I know my timing has improved. My 50m sprint is now 49.4s. It's still not as good as my personal best during nationals last year (48.62s), but I'm quite sure I'll be able to get another personal best timing for this nationals with the andrenaline rush and all that during the actual race.

On Wednesday, my timing was 54s. Cheryl got 53s. And I'm kinda ashamed that she did better than me. I'm the senior after all. But I'm not surprised since I skipped training for so long and Cheryl trains so hard. She'll definitely do better than me next year.

But since I'm supposed to better than her this time, I really felt that I just had to swim faster than her, even during training. Maybe that accounts for my 49.4s timing today.

I know I'm really quite competitive and being faster than her this competition means a lot to me. But it's friendly competition. I don't hate her at all... really!

I still remember last year, I was trying to beat April. After all, it'll be great if I can win her, after she trained 1 year more than me. I guess I was like in Cheryl's position then. I was slower than her by exactly 0.5s. Her timing was 48.16s. I still remember. I guess that was just as well. I proved myself and I'm glad.

I don't know how I'll do this nationals, the same for Cheryl.

I hope that both of us will do well!

May the best girl win! :)
