Mexico World Cup Semi-Final

What an interesting day. I'll keep it brief as I need to go to sleep. I think I am in the final, which would be excellent! However, this cannot be confirmed until tomorrow. I swam well today, given it was my first long course race this year. I was only 3.5 seconds off my best time. I fenced very well to start, but then fell back, which frustrating. This left me in 13th spot in my group. Top 18 get into the final. Half of my semi-final group did the final event (run/shoot), but the sun was getting too dark to run the second half. This is so typically Mexican, and so that second half will have to do their last event tomorrow. I moved up from 13th to 10th, which was quite nice. I was very happy with that aspect of my day. However, I won't officially know my position until all athletes finish. It's funny competing here. Every time we do, there are glitches, and it's important to just let them go, and to keep calm. It was no idfferent today. Everything was late or not organized as well as it could be. I guess one could accept this given the balance of pleasentries here in Playa Del Carmen though. The sun is out, we are in a massive and beautiful all-inclusive resort, and beach isn't far away. So, I guess I will take the good with the bad. At the moment, I am crossing my fingers for the final. I am quite confident that I am safe. It would take 9 athletes surpassing my result for me to be bumped out. Stranger things have happened, but I think I should be safe. I will keep you updated. Thanks for following.
