Today was the first day of districts. We were at the pool by 7:45 a.m. Michaela had warm ups at 8:00 a.m. Districts are held at Mizzou in Columbia. The recreation complex that the pool is in is very nice. It is a mixture of old and new architecture. There are two lap pools and a diving well. They used both pools for the events. Girls swam in one pool and boys swam in the other.
Michaela swam four events. Her first event was the 50 M Freestyle. She bettered her time by 3.5 seconds. Her second event was the 100 M Freestyle. She bettered her time in that by 30 seconds!!!! Her third event was 50 M Backstroke. She bettered her time in that by 5.5 seconds. Her fourth event was 200 M Freestyle. I am not sure about the times for it.
She really had a great time. It was fun experiencing this with her and all four of us being there together. I bought a CD with professional pictures taken of her during her events. I will get it tomorrow when we go back for finals. Michaela will only be swimming her relay tomorrow because she did not make the top 16 in her individual events, but that's ok, she did great anyway.
Tonight we met up with three other families at Shakespeare's pizza. It has a very good reputation as THE pizza place in Columbia. I have to say it was really good pizza. I was impressed. We really enjoyed the time with the other families. Michaela got to spend time with her three favorite people on the swim team. I'm glad we went out with them.
