The Friday night Finale

The last swim meet of the winter season has arrived.
We were a bit mixed on this one—
Excited for a meet,
Angry/intimidated/nervous to swim the IM.
None of us signed up for it,
But Coach Nicole put us all in it. 
She clearly has a lot of faith in us.

So here’s how the night went:
Weston had a stellar night, setting a PR in everything he swam
He shaved off a tenth of a second in free, coming in at 35.15.
He cut over 1 second off his breaststroke, 
coming in 5th with a time of 43.93
But the big news was his IM:
He cut 18 seconds from last year for a new time of 1:28.99.
Well done!

Although only 2 of the 3 members of the free relay got to stay together tonight,
He and Cooper made the sweep with 4 1st place ribbons this season.
His freestyle was a bit slow tonight,
No PR, but a 4th place finish all the same.
Despite not wanting to swim it, 
He took 3 seconds off his IM time from the summer, 
setting a new PR of 1:41.16 
And taking 2nd place, just behind Cooper.

I had a heck of a night.
I didn’t set a new PR in breast, but I did smash the event again,
 Coming in 1st by 8 seconds!!!
But my big news with the IM:

I took nearly 43 SECONDS off my previous time from the summer
 Easily taking 1st with a time of 2:06.01

We forgot to get a picture of the big ol’ Margarita crew
But we did get a picture of the Dream Team free relay
Another successful season!
Bring on Waves!
