In little under an hour I will have about 15 hungry teenage girls coming over for spaghetti to prepare for Sectionals tomorrow. Its a tradition to have a spaghetti dinner before each big meet and we finally got to host one.
The team did really well last night at the prelims. We had 3 school records broken and have at least one swimmer in each top eight event. It more than made up for the disappointing show at counties.
Sara has just missed out on the top eight for her 200 and 500 the past two years. She missed again in the 200 finishing in the bottom eight in 11th place. But she finished 8th in the 500 and she was wondering why I was crying. Silly girl. I know how hard she works and it just broke my heart the past 2 years when she finished in the bottom 8 but when it came time for finals she beat at least 3 of the girls in the top 8. That would be great if in the finals you can move up from the bottom 8 to the top but you can't so the best she could get was 9th. Well not this year in the 500 she is guaranteed at least 8th place but with the way they were all swimming last night anything is possible.
Both the relays she is on were smoking hot last night and it will be an exciting race for both I am sure. The 400 relay is going to try to repeat what they did last year and grab the sectional title. Sara was on that relay and again this year.
All this and Ian is coming home again this weekend. So by tomorrow night I will have no voice and will be ready to sleep for a week but its all worth it.
Stay warm, Stay safe, Feel loved.
