SHAVING IMy legs The first problem with shav' ing was getting up the nerve to do it. And then when the razor goes up and you donit see anything under it, it feels really weird. When I shaved I was with five girls and another guy, and we started shaving about 5:30. I was about half done when it got dark and I started getting real cold. We dropped a second or two off our times, but itIs not all physical; itIs more being sen; sitive, where you can feel everything. That was the weirdest part-when I was in the water. My legs felt numb, but at the same time you could feel everything. Mark McAdams, sophomore IN LINE. Senior Jeff Astbury waits for his tum to race. Both the boys and girls achieved the title of district champions for this season. THE FIRST LAP. In the individual medley, freshman Heather Reese still has the backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle to go. Reese placed third in girls ZOO-yard individual medley at the triangular meet on December 1. PHILOSOPHY IWinning feels goodi Itry to envision the start, the strokes, the turns. the fin- ish, and the competition. And thatIs before the race even begins. If I get too nervous before a race, I try to calm myseIf down. Winning feels good. When I take my event, I feel like Yve accomplished something im' portant. But more important! 1y is when I do my best time because then I know I've done the best for that meet and myself. When I lose an event my feelings vary accordingly. If IIm expected to win and I donit, then I get upset because I feel I havenIt done my best. But, if I'm not expected to win I dotft get too upset.
