Swim season has begun again. Ian had a meet on tuesday then another yesterday. The season opener was a big win then wednesday they had to swim against livonia and of course they creamed us. Now on tuesday Ians coach could have had a high score on the board and totally blown away the other team but instead the meet ended up 46 to 48 because he drew back and didnt humilate the other team. fast forward to livonia. 109 to 67 enough said. The coach for dansville is a great guy, he is fantastic with the kids and pushes them just enough to improve but not enough for them to hate him or swimming. He is competitive but fair. I am so glad that he is thier coach and teacher and not the guy from livonia.
Ian is already showing signs of disappointment. He has a great stroke his flip turns are good and he is improving in his stream line but he has alot of drag and this is the only excercise/sport he does all year. the other guys for the most part do a sport before and after swimming. But Ian jumps in and doesnt give himself enough time to get really conditioned before he gives up on himself. I dont expect him to be a great athlete but he doesnt even give himself a chance. He will stick it out because he enjoys the guy thing. And i will continue to go and cheer him on to the end. The play is coming up soon for him and that is where he is in his element.
Sean had another meet yesterday to that i didnt get to go to because of that cloning thing not possible to be 2 places at once. His record is now 1 win 4 losses. The other schools just dont have any 7th graders his size to wrestle so he ends up wrestling a guy on his team in one match that is 8th grade and about 30 pounds bigger than him and he said the second guy last night was close to his team mates size also. Big tournament on saturday and i am hoping he will be paired with someone more his ablility. Gramma is coming down to watch and dad will be there too. He is getting discouraged also and i pump him up saying its only your first year most of these guys have been doing sports since they were little and you have some catching up to do. by the end of the school year after doing 5 sports he will be unstoppable i told him.
Sara had her first indoor track meet on saturday that i missed because my car blew up and she did great. The coach moved her up to varsity becuase they needed someone fast for a 4 by 800 relay team and he put her in the 600 also. The relay team didnt do to well but she came in second in the 600 and already qualifid for sectionals in her first race. Amazing for someone who hates to run.
MY day off is being spent cleaning the house getting ready for Sara's big sleep over on friday. omg i am going to have 8 teenage girls in the house. Calgon take me away. I guess i should stop procrastinating and hop to it.
