The past weekend of championship competition was one that certainly challenged my mental strength and physical endurance, however, with great challenge also came great victory and I look back on the weekend with much to be proud of.  The prelim sessions tended to be riddled with distractions but I was able to use the afternoon breaks to my advantage and returned to finals racing with greater focus and determination.  The length of the meet was testing and I found it was an even greater struggle to overcome my exhaustion on days 3 and 4, nevertheless, I gathered what energy I had left to finish the meet strong.

My meet results are as follows:
