Another Meet

Yesterday I had another meet. Much to all of the older teammates' dismay, we had to be there at 8:15; usually we have to be there around 3:00. So, in the early morning (7:00 on a Sunday morning, no less) I left to go to Pantalla, where I hitched a ride with Elena. We then drove to Foligno. The meet was the most poorly organised meet I've seen in a while.
The races themselves were fine (mostly). My races were 50m backstroke, 100m IM and the relay (freestyle). I did well on the backstroke, poorly on the IM (due to a sloppy turn that set me half a lap back), and well on the relay. In fact, better than well on the relay. It was the most incredible thing! I managed to get a full set of medals: third on the IM, second on the backstroke, and first on the relay.
Because of the way they had organised the meet, we had to wait for the little kids to finish their part of the meet before we got medals. Normally, it is done almost as if they were separate meets. We were standing around for three hours after we had done swimming!
