Close to the end

In just 2 days the swimming season is over. Right now we are in the final phase of taper, in which we train much less and just get ready for the final meet. I like it much better than regular season, because I don’t get soar muscles all the time and we get out of practice much earlier. Another thing of preparation is shaving. Girls love it and boys hate it. Before the Conference meet all swimmers have to shave their legs, arms and upper body. It helps one to feel the water better and so to swim better. I just did it. Right now it feels super weird and I´m sad, because several years of growing are gone now :/ . Anyway our last practice was super easy and we only swam about 1400yards. As well our second trimester is almost over. The final exams are next week thursday and friday. A little update on Basketball and other sports. State destroyed Michigan a few days ago with over 25 points lead. Unfortunately Spartans just lost by 4 points against number one Indiana. Hockey is still going and almost every night there is a interesting game going on. Unfortunately there are no new pictures in the album, but I hope, there will be some good ones from the Conference meet. The winter is still here with 8inches of snow and we just had an day off, because of icy roads. And there is another storm coming from the south, with snow and icy roads.
