Mori at the pool... For the first time in my life, I received a 1st place award! It was the first place award in 400IM - I didn't check, but I believe I was the only person in my age group who competed in 400IM, so of course, it would have been natural... but I have to give myself some credit to swimming an event most people hate ;-) The 400IM wasn't easy... but I'd say it was easier than the 200IM since you can take it really slow at the beginning during the butterfly.

Also, I received two other 2nd place awards in 500 free (swam backwards) and 1,000 free.
