So I made this bet with my 9yo daughter. The bet was that if she swam 100 free (this past Sunday) within 30 seconds of what I swim it in (on the 28th), I would have to give her $20 (10 to her, 10 to her savings account). She is very competitive with me (we race down the slides at the swim center :duel:) and she loves to beat me.
So I was figuring on her going about 1:35-1:38, which means I would have to go about 1:05, really didn't that would be a problem. So what does she do? She nails her start and does THREE flips turns (she does them well in practice, she just isn't confident in them yet) and throws down a 1:29.37. I was thrilled, cause she looked great. Then I did the math :doh:, I gotta go sub 1:00. Maybe in a couple of months, sure, don't think I'm gonna get it in this meet. Ugh, nothing like a trash talking 9yo :rofl:.
Me and my big mouth, maybe I should have held out for 20 seconds??????

OK, to all those who badgered me about NTing, I just sent an email to Tim requesting that my seed times be changed. :thhbbb:
Now, I REALLY get to embarrass myself :groovy:
I can only say that I feel like a 5yo on the night before Christmas. I have no idea how I will sleep for the next 11 nights :woot:
Then again, this day has been pretty horrible at work so I think there might be a bit more Fly in my diet tomorrow morning. I just feel the need to hurt :drown:
