rock you like a hurricane

Already four swim meets are over, done, gone, WON.

And I *still* haven't put up any pictures. So instead of those long 50-picture-long posts like last year, I'll just sorta do a recap of each one so far (you can tell on the last one, though, I sorta got a lot of good photos, so I tried to squish a lot in).

Let's get to it...

Meet #1: Forest Lakes vs. Fairview

This meet was unscored since FLST (Forest Lakes) is in the 2nd division, and FV (Fairview) is in the 1st. Still, it was fun to see our friends and race against their super fast senior girls. It turns out that if we had scored the meet, our girls would have beaten theirs, but their guys creamed ours.

Meet #2: Forest Lakes at Hollymead

It's always one of the most intense meets of the year. Hollymead is (as a certain coach who will remain anonymous says) THE ENEMY. They've beaten us for the past two years, each time winning by like 3 points. This year? We crushed.

I believe that's Viv in the top and bottom left, Josie in the middle doing fly, and me in the right on the block.

Meet #3: Forest Lakes vs. Crozet

Another unscored meet since Crozet is in the 1st division.

Viv at the top doing breaststroke; me at the left doing a backstroke start; Josie at the bottom, ready to race; Annette at the right doing backstroke.

Meet #4: Forest Lakes at Farmington

Farmington has some fast seniors, but we still pulled out the win (only by 130 points...:P).

(counterclockwise starting with top left) Josie and friends playing games while waiting at clerk; Dad and Bug; Viv--victim of the camera; John, head coach; Josie, finished with her race; Annette doing backstroke; at the clerk of course; me doing butterfly.

Meet #5: Forest Lakes at Fry's Spring

Oooooooh.....cannot wait to swim Jo and Leia tomorrow! Fry's Spring has a fifty-meter pool (as opposed to 25m like most teams in our league have), so it'll be interesting. My coach told me to win all my races. Uh, thanks alot, John. No pressure, right?

Will let you know how it goes...but for now,

gab--over and out
