We are thinking that perhaps three concerts, three rehearsals, a three-day swim meet, and three days of finals (last Friday, this Monday and Tuesday) all sort of collided in a Bermuda Triangle of Disappointing Swim Times over the weekend. I am just saying...there was way too much going on for one single sixteen year old this weekend. The Boy swam the 200 Butterfly at the meet...not the ideal swim for someone with rotator cuff problems at the moment, but he gave it a try...said it was a big mistake, that the shoulders just gave out before the first hundred. The finals we don't know about yet, but we will assume those are going fine as he is doing well in school. The swimming times...let's just say there was a lot of room for improvement over the weekend. A. Lot. Of. Room. Here are some fun photos from the meet...not too many, just a few of some of the guys enjoying their chances to compete at the first meet of the season. The middle photo is of Matt and Mike getting ready to swim the 200 Backstroke. They don't often swim side-by-side, so it was nice to get this photo of the two of them. The three amigos at the meet this weekend: Daniel, Mike, and Matt. Three nicer guys you will never meet. Seriously.
The concerts were great. (Photo is of Matt at the last of the three...the Brahms' Requiem with the GCHS choir.)
