Afternoon all!
I am back from the first day of the meet. WHEW!! It is SOOOO hot. It is about 109 outside and was 112 in our car when we got in it! Told shane he HAS to remember the sun shade tomorrow. It was smokin when we got in it and we couldn't even touch the seatbelts to put them on. UGH!
It was a LONG day and we left before it was even over! We got to the meet right around 6 and Katy was in the first event. She did fairly well but she was bummed cuz she didn't get first of course. I don't remember what she got in the heat but it really doesn't matter because only first place gets anything. She took 57th overall out of 100 girls so not too bad for her 1st year of swimming the IM. She got REALLY nervous though and actually started hyperventilating so it got hard for her to even finish. But she did and I am proud of her. She did knock some time off her seed time! Her orig time was 2:07 and she did it today in 1:58.
Then they swam the 25 free and Shelby got 36th out of 100. I don't remember what she got in her heat but again neither of them took first. But both of them dropped their times. Shelby went from 21.56 down to 21.31 and Katy went from 18.79 to 17.90. She was 49th overall out of 100.
Last they swam backstroke. Unfortunately they both took close to last in their heats and Shelby even increased her time a bit but Katy did drop hers a bit. But she was just absolutely besides herself. She really wanted to win a heat or get into the finals (which was never going to happen) and to make matters worse she didn't get in the medley relay either. That was her one chance to get SOME kind of medal or something. So she was REALLY upset and crying and saying she wanted to quit swim and on and on. She does this EVERY year when she does badly so it was really upsetting to have her act this way but we still have tomorrow. They both do fairly well in the 50 free so hopefully they will do ok and then they each have their good strokes. Breast for Shelby and butterfly for Katy. So hopefully they will do better tomorrow!!
We also don't know if they will make it into the freestyle relay but somehow I doubt it after today.
Anyway it has been a LONG hot day so I am going to go take a COLD shower LOL. Hope everyone had a good day and thanks for all the well wishes. I am off AGAIN tomorrow bright and early.
