We continued our off day with some high quality rest and relaxation. I revisited the "texas hot" chinese food place ... they redeemed themselves big time with their chicken and noodle dish. The gentleman in front of me ordered the beef and onion special and it looked quite appealing …
Terray spent the afternoon sleeping for multiple hours. We went to the pool in enough time to watch some swimming and the diving warm ups … then went on a mission to find some dinner. Last year’s nationals was way easier to find some dining options … not that Houston has fewer options, but the options include parking, traffic and going out of our way to get there. (how did anybody get anywhere before the GPS was invented?)
After finding a pitch black IHOP in the not so nice part of town we settled on quiznos … not Amanda’s favorite, but it was getting late and with a big day of swimming tomorrow it was time to grab and go.
Speaking of tomorrow…we have the 100 back. Last year Amanda went a 57.14 in prelims to be seeded 8th going into finals. I think this year it will take a 56.7ish to make it back into the top 8 and the 57.1 just to make it back into consols (9th-16th). Amanda is seeded 17th and is in the final heat lane 7 … a good place to be as long as she doesn’t try to look up at the clock after her first 50 (I should mention that the timing system scoreboard is right above lane 7 and 8) … we need the first 50 to be at least a 27.
We are going with the back up suit … during the 50 the Tracer Rise filled with some water and Amanda wants to go with something she knows and trusts … so we are going back to the Tracer Light (same suit as last year). We had to have one Fed Ex’d to the hotel from Lock Haven (thanks KIM ………… and pam for helping us out).
