This afternoon’s lunch was a revisit of our first meal here in Houston … Freebirds. We brought along Longhorn Swim Camp vetern & IUP GA coach Kim to join us. Um, delish. I enjoyed a monster and chips … of course there was Dew involved.
Got back, to the hotel and hung out in anticipation for finals.
We had to sit through 2 heats of the mile and 4 heats of the 100 free (NOTE: the greatest male swimmer in d2 had a record broken today … Ben Michelson had his 100 free record by a .03 seconds, lots of records broken this weekend and to see one of his go is just flat our impressive) awards and then the 200 backstroke.
Amanda was very relaxed and just seemed excited…about the most relaxed I have ever seen her before a big race. Her first 50 was faster than this morning but instead of rocking it out in the 2nd 50 she pumped the brakes a little bit and kept it under control. She let up a little too much at the 3rd 50, but was able to close it out strong to finish faster than this morning. Another Honorable Mention All American performance … and proving that she is one of the best swimmers in all of d2.
It was a long weekend, but I am looking forward to the future…LHU now has a 4 time All American swimmer, not bad.
We are meeting to leave at 4am…bright and early!
6amish flight to Philly … 2hourish layover there then to Harrisburg … then back to the Haven.
