The 500 was a fun race. No one really knew what to expect, least of all me. I was hoping to go faster than the guy who won the America East last week, that's all. |
The competition was a lot less intense compared to the previous weekend, but other teams knew we had a solid bunch of swimmers who can all step it up. |
