205.35

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.

    I love to dive.  I love to eat.  I love junk food.  Those things don't get along very well.
