There are 86,400 seconds in a day, over 600,000 seconds in a week, and millions in a year. To the average person, a second may seem like an insignificant amount of time that passes by without a thought, but to a competitive swimmer, a second means everything. When you spend significant periods of time pacing yourself and racing against a clock, you become much more appreciative of the value of time. This has been especially true for me since my championship season two years ago.
The state meet was going to be my time. I was never the swimmer on the team getting the gold medal draped around his neck, as I was usually the one in the background filling in where I was needed. This year was going to be different, though, because I was finally going to make that National Championship qualifying time I had been training so hard for all year, and really, for my entire swimming career.
The 200 I.M. was my greatest chance to finally qualify. I had visualized my race more times than I could count, and pictured how great it would feel to finally reach the next level of competition that I knew I was ready for. Unfortunately, the picture in my mind of competing alongside my teammates couldn’t have been further from reality.
