Last weekend Shay had a swim meet at UNLV. We were so exited to swim at the college pool, we thought it was going to be a really neat experience. UNLV's pool sucks. I know where not to send Shay to college if she continues swimming.......anyway......
Shay kind of struggled at this meet. Especially Saturday. She would not eat her pasta dinner the night before, she would not eat breakfast, she wouldn't drink instant breakfast, she had nothing to do with any of the snacks we packed for her. Nothing. She didn't have the energy and she wasn't feeling well. After the meet we had a serious talk with her about nutrition and energy and even when you have a nervous tummy you have to make yourself eat. She did MUCH better on Sunday.
She ended up placing in three of her six events. She took 3rd in her 100 meter Breast stroke. 6th in both 50 and 100 meter Back stroke. Considering everything, she did a great job. I was very proud of her.
This was the last long course swim meet for the season. In September the short course season begins. I am looking forward to seeing how well she does with that. I think she will do much better since she practices everyday in the 25 meter lanes. She is awesome at her flip turns and I know she will shave off some time just from that!
