I'd love to meet you all. I've met Mollie and Jeff but there are so many more I haven't met. I'll make it easy for you all, I'll be wearing my Oregon stuff. Red Oregon cap and Oregon t-shirts (some might say Tualatin Hills Barracudas but with the Oregon map on the back). Most likely I will be sitting with the VMST team. I'm swimming on Sat only in the 500 free and 200 fly (could use some cheering for that one). So stop on by and say:wave:

I was pleased with my times. Took 2 sec off my 500 free and did a 2:42 on my 200 fly (first time doing it).
Way to go on your 500! I looked for you at the meet and saw you at one point in the warm down pool, but never got a chance to say Hi.
My meet was good. I had a great 1650...didn't break 19, but swam a smart race which was my main goal. I think I went out a little too fast though because my first 500 was only 1 second slower than I swam the 500 on Saturday. Then I went 5 seconds slower in my 200 free than my first 200 of the 1650 and 500. Good times :) Main lesson learned this weekend: Need to learn how to pace my races better.
I woke up completely sick on Sunday morning so took it easy on the 200 free (see above) and then re-grouped BIG TIME for the 100 back and went 2.2 seconds faster than last year....1:05.03. I wanted a 1:03 or 1:04 but given the fact that I hadn't eaten anything all day and felt sick, I was SOOOO happy with that! Getting closer to college times every time I swim it!!
I'm doing the swim in a half ironman this weekend. I was just itching to get in open water so I recruited some of Sister Golden Hair's triathletes to do a relay with me. Should be fun...water temp in Lake Anna (Fredericksburg, VA) was 53 last week! Hopefully next weekend will be warmer. Sister Golden will be doing the aquabike race (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike) so wish her luck!!!
Fantastic meeting everyone and sharing so many laughs at dinner.
