I havn't had a chance to blog about team finals yet!
I don't have the time to blog right now either!
Just know that our final swim was SO much fun, and we did an awesome job. I will write a lot about it later.. but right now I have to pack everything up and then go to Closing Ceremonies!!

Inspiration..
"Pain is Inevitable, but suffering is optional."
"FASTER, STRONGER, HIGHER.. NOT... FASTEST HIGHEST STRONGEST"
"The harder I work, The luckier I get"
"Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it!"
"You don't have to be sick to get better"
"Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us."
"Failing to plan is planning to fail"
"Some people see dificulties behind every opportunity; others see opportunity behind every difficulty"
"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt
