Swim Meet Day at Spieker Center

I'm headed down to swim at this pool today, at the Spieker Aquatics Center on the UCLA campus.

I'm competing in four events: 50 Backstroke, 200 Freestyle, 100 Butterfly, and 100 Backstroke.

As I prepare to leave, I'm reminded of this great quote that really encompasses my state on the morning of a meet day:

"Nerves and butterflies are fine - they're a physical sign that you're mentally ready and eager. You have to get the butterflies to fly in formation, that's the trick." - Steve Bull
