*energizing*

challenging
i had to push myself to the limit, keep swimming even though i was exhausted, and endure swimming till i could swim no more.

super hard
swimming way over 50 laps with no breaks isn't exactly a piece of cake...

t..i..r..i..n..g
i could sleep for hours.

shameful
coming in last every time is kind of embarrassing. but i'll get better.

g r a t i f y i n g
i'm so proud that i endured so well on my first day. water polo is such a hard sport, so i'm proud...for not being an athletic person, i think i did a-okay.

{{headaches}}
my brain was throbbing...

lightheaded-ness
i had to stop for about five minutes because i was a little dizzy- but Coach Kroegman said that was normal for first time water polo-ers.

HOT
"But you're in the pool...so you'd be cooled off." Yeah, for the first three seconds of entering the pool...but after like 10 laps, you could go for an ice bath.

>>traumatizing<<
the boys team came in as we were leaving. boys water polo = speedos. speedos = awkward. seeing the guy who sits next to you in math plus your friend's brother in speedos = i am scarred for life.

a-w-k-w-a-r-d
try changing into a one piece in a crowded locker aisle with 20 people two inches away from you. then you'll understand...

*energizing*
ah, the benefits of endorphins...love it.
