Ended up falling alseep last night to the Syracuse / UCONN game … just couldn’t make it through the 6 OT’s it took to see the end. Woke up pretty much super duper early … checked the online tracking for the suit that was being fed-ex’d … saw it was on the truck for delivery and went downstairs to wait for it. Somewhere between my checking and the elevator ride down 18 floors the suit arrived.
We jumped into the car and made our way to the pool. Another cold and rainy day.
The suit fit like a glove … maybe a little snugger, and Amanda had a really great warm up. Did some 25’s and they may have been her 3 best 25’s ever. Then a long delay while the 12 heats of mens and womens 500 freestyles competed.
Amanda was seeded 17th and by the end of the race was 13th. Had a great start and her fastest (by 2 tenths) first 50 ever, backed off on the 3rd 25 and come home really strong. She felt, and Katie noticed as well, that she had a lot left in the end.
Key to tonight’s race will be to keep the same first 50 (if not a hair faster) and bring it home super strong. Amanda is a tremendous racer and I think that she will do great tonight.
I need a nap.
Headed back to the pool at 3:45.
