Between

     We have sunshine!  We have beautiful yellow daffodils!  

      Here we are between swim sessions, rejoicing in a new best 50 Freestyle time on the first day of a four day meet.  Matt is swimming at the USA Swimming Speedo Champions Series (we are Central Zone Section 3) here in Indy at the Nat.  The boy went in at 25.20, and clocked 25.14 at the morning's session. 

      While he was happy to have dropped 6/100ths of a second (always rejoice at the drops!), his goal of getting it under a 25 has eluded him for months, so he is hoping for a chance to get back in the water for finals and whittle away some more time. 

      After a refueling stop with several of his teammates, tons of pasta at Noodles, they are all supposed to be home resting before heading back to the pool at 3:15.   So, we are just kicking around this afternoon enjoying the time together between doing this that and the other. 

      Here's the link for the Live Scoreboard for those of you who are interested.  Matt's events are as follows:  Thursday 50 Freestyle (Event 5); Friday 200 Freestyle (Event 10), meet starts at 9:00 a.m. and Event 10 follows the first event which is the Girls 200 Freestyle; Saturday 100 Backstroke (Event 18), meet starts at 9:00 a.m. and Event 18 follows the first event which is the Girls 100 Backstroke; Sunday 100 Freestyle (Event 32), meet starts at 9:00 a.m. and Event 32 follows both Girls and Boys 200 IM and the Girls 100 Freestyle.  Evening finals Thursday, Friday, and Saturday start at 5:30 and on Sunday at 4:30.  They follow the same order as pre-lims.  Here's the connect for the schedule for those of you who know how to read such a thing: click here.  You need to scroll down a bit to get the Order of Events schedule. 

      Have a great Thursday...the weekend is only a day away!
