After today, the first day of qualifications and semifinals, I can say that I have passed the hardest day. It's the day with the most meters. The first race is the most difficult, you have to get used to the competition emotions. Even at my level, and much above, the world has emotions.
There are a lot of races, it would not hurt to swim qualifications and semifinals directly. It's okay, I'm a jerk, it's fine. The hardest day passed. I feel ok, I have to sleep and rest for tomorrow. I am satisfied. It was a semi -final like a book! I managed not to give everything I had and at the same time to be enough to qualify me quite comfortable
