I do like the new HS rule change that says you don't need to separate your hands before taking the dolphin kick. Having to move the hands apart slightly always seemed stupid to me. However the rule is going to be, I with they'd just put breaststroke back to breaststroke. Why make rules for the cheaters??? DQ 'em and get on with it. Take away their medals, whatever. Video proof or admission to guilt. Back in the wild west they had a way to deal with that kind of stuff.

The outdoor swimming will be at 5:00 for the next couple weeks till after school lets out. Then it'll be from 6:30-8:30pm. City pool makes too much off the afternoon public swims and such. So that leaves me only a few weeks to get my tan going good.

Nice news on the LCM pool availability.

The re-entry is hard as I re-learned this morning!

As I was watching the race, I knew you would work that finishing kick! Swimming a 100 FR after a strong 500 FR effort is always tough, so your time was quite respectable considering the context. Congratulations on a great meet! Thanks Frank! I was pleased with the swim. There's no way I was going to win that with my arms...they were dead! I have to go back and try to watch some of these races while I still can too.
James, nice meeting you! Your swims were amazing and I hope I see you in Indy again soon!!

She's sleeping in, coming to the pool when she's ready, asking how much longer, and then we have fun walking the city. Had a good lunch/dinner at a chinese place in town, and then she returned to the hotel for movies and sports on tv while I went to the forumites dinner. She honestly would've been bored to death there, but I'm glad she didn't hold anything against me for going. I'll just be sleeping on the couch.
