We had a swim meet on Saturday. Since the weather here has been ridiculous, we thought for sure the meet would be cancelled. But, "lucky us," the team hosting the meet found a covered pool that was available. Not an indoor pool, a covered pool. Like a tent. The temps Saturday morning were in the low 50s.
Does this look fun?
Just notice what all the spectators are wearing... coats, hats... you could see your breath, for pity's sake.
And this is what the swimmers were wearing:
Those poor girls were shivering like crazy. In between events they tried to keep warm.
Despite the weather, I think they still enjoyed the meet. Shilo was happy she went. She won two of her three events, and had an All-Star qualifying time in her 100m backstroke. Bill only recorded the last lap of it, but here it is:
Good job, Shilo!
I was ice. My nose, hands and toes were numb. It took a long, hot shower once I got home to warm me up. Which way was summer again? I think I went the wrong direction.
