Best thing ever: before swim today Carter comes up to me and says that he was blown away by how much my times improved from last year's time trials to this year's. And that he was basically in disbelief so much that he had to go back and recheck numbers to make sure that he wasn't making a mistake. Like I guess I lost 8 seconds on the 66 free and like 9 on the 66 fly? GREATEST FEELING I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UNDERSTANDS.

and also "you should have gotten rid of that boy a long time ago, he was just slowing you down" hehehehehe

oh Carter, coolest swim coach in all the land
