I am now in Israel with the Great Britain Team for the Open Water, wish me luck the race happens on Friday 18th May.
I was away last weekend competing at the South East Regional Championships;
I couldn’t do the full programme because I had to leave on the Sunday to represent England South at the Sainsbury’s School Games which was held at the Olympic Pool in East London. At South East I did some races which were not my favourite, I got a pb in 200 breastroke, backstroke I was on my times and I medalled in every final I did.
At Sainsbury’s School Games I had one individual event which was the 800 freestyle, I have to say though this was quite gruelling for me and I had to work hard against Lucy Campbell from Windsor, but I did touch in 1st place with just a pb in a time of 8.51.47 this was also a long course Island Record so I was pleased with that. In the Team Relays I was the anchor member (last one in) for the 4x100 free and the 4x200free, I went in when we were in 3rd and 4th place respectively and I gained on the Team and we medalled in 2nd and 3rd place. I was very pleased with my two relay split times.
Overall there were 8 teams, England North were the winners, we came 2nd (England South) and England Central 3rd.
