Double Practice

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

This morning we had a two hour practice with Corvallis, in which we swam 7100 meters. The main set was this:

1×100
1×300
1×200
2×300
1×300
3×300
1×400
4×300

A few hours later, we had another two hour practice at our own pool. This one was only 4300 yards, but our main set was 3×400 IM’s for time. My times were 4:52, 4:54 and 4:55.

I never want to do a 400 IM again.

Overall, we swam 6.85 miles today.

Back from Canada

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

We (the Oregon All-Star team) got back from Canada yesterday afternoon, after a three-day meet. It was UberFun and I brought back two Bronze medals (800 free and 100 fly).

Unfortunately, at the meet, my iPod was stolen! :( There’s a rumor that new iPods will be coming out in June though, so I’ll wait to buy a new one.

Here are my times:

100 free: 1:01.45
200 fly: 2:30.24
200 IM: 2:34
200 free: 2:12.02
100 fly: 1:06.98
800 free: 9:55

And some pictures from the trip…

Leaving for Canada

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I’m leaving for Canada tomorrow for All Stars. The meet will be held at the Canada Games Pool in Vancouver, BC.

I won’t be checking my email while I’m gone, but I’ll be back on Monday.

The Ghetto Board

Kate let Andrew and me take home the Ghetto Board halves, so I personalized mine according to my assumed name:
