This week's dive meet was at Chaffey college again. This time, it was just a meet against a couple of other schools--not an invitational.
We only competed one board and we could decide. I opted for the 1m this time. I have such a new list, that I just wanted the chance to compete that list again and get some more experience under my belt in that area.
Last week, my 1m score was 153.25. I had a couple of dives that I didn't do very well on at all. This week, I got a 205.35!! I'd set a goal previously to break 200 and this week I did it. This was my personal best by A LOT!! My highest score on 1m before this was 180.50. I was so excited. I also got first place, which was great, but the journey has really become more about my personal growth rather than winning or not winning. A couple of weeks ago was a good example of that when I won first place, but my personal score went down. I was disappointed in how I did at that meet, in spite of the fact that I'd won.
That said, it was still awesome to come in first place!
On the diet front, it's still a constant battle. I've been relatively good throughout the week, but EVERY weekend is a disaster. Today I went to Universal Studios with the wife and kids and I think I tried ALL the desserts there. It tasted so good and seemed like a fine thing to do at the time. Now I have a horrible stomach ache, on top of feeling guilty about eating such garbage when I should be focusing on being the best I can be during dive season.
Part of the journey, I suppose.
