I made it just before i blew it

just 7 more seconds before i'll fail the swim trial and heechai and betrand already completed the swim.

Half way throughout the last laps, i hear shouts.. I see people on platform... OK, that must be Betrand and Heechai, they were cheering for me to go faster... thanks guys..

I look at the giant timer... 39mins.... above 40 mins and i'll fail... I push out my hardest stroke, kick with all my leg strength towards the finishing...

The clock was still ticking and before i could reach the end, it was 39.50.. 10 more seconds...

I quickly pushed and pushed, finially reaching the ending at 39.56



After i left the pool. I just laid half-unconcious at the platform with my head spinning in circles around whirlpool, while heechai and betrand lift me up on the feet...

That was sooo close that i made it before i blew it....
