Another long drive resulted in another successful meet for the Pup! I don’t have the videos done yet, but – here’s her times:
The 200yd Freestyle Relay
The girls KILLED their time –
Previous 4:52.54
Yesterday: 4:13.08
-39.46
Unfortunately, the pup was a little bit antsy and jumped the gun, not quite waiting until her teammate touched the wall before she started her anchor leg. They were DQ’d.
50 yd Backstroke
Previous time: 1:06.93
Yesterday: 1:04.04!
-3.29
Added bonus? Her goal is to beat her cousins – while we aren’t sure she’ll ever catch the Bug (we think he may have gotten his Junior Olympic qualifying time yesterday in one event!), she DID beat D-man’s backstroke by over 10 seconds! Happy Pup! even though we told her she COULD NOT BRAG about it. *L*
50yd Freestyle
We DID have the wrong time at the previous meet – which I was pretty sure we did, though I bragged about it anyway. *L*
Previous (official!) time: 1:10.21
Yesterday: 1:04.51
-5.30
Slow but steady she’s taking off the seconds! Clearly her breathing was MUCH better this meet… and now, for the BIG WOW!
50yd Breaststroke
Previous time: 2:01.37
Yesterday 1:29.93!!!!!
-31.04
Now, to be honest, she SHOULD have been DQ’d – she flutter-kicked once, and she also did a half stroke once, but she was CRUISING! (the official gave her a break -THIS time…) She’s got the stroke down now, and was determined to SWIM FAST. If she puts her head down more like she had before and lengthens the stroke just a little it, she’ll have it made!
Overall – a HIGHLY successful meet. Looks like I’ll be drawing those piranha’s on her back for a long time to come!
PS – Special congrats to my sister, Auntie Ladybug! She beat her HIGH SCHOOL TIME in the 100yd Freestyle by THREE SECONDS yesterday! Yay AUNTIE!
