One day before the meet starts...
Today, I had to work at registration for the last time, from
9am-12pm. At noon, the team headed to lunch at the Thirsty
Turtle. It took about an hour to get our food, then we
headed back to the pool to register and do an afternoon workout.
We were in the pool for about an hour, then I hit the coaches
meeting and we were off to Smoothie King.
Smoothie King has been a beloved
tradition at Y Nationals that's much-anticipated each year.
Every trip to the pool is followed immediately by a trip to
Smoothie King. The kids are only there once per year, but
they're still able to fill up their frequent buyer card to
receive a free smoothie...it's nice that the cards don't have an
expiration, either, so their punches roll over from year to
year. We've all had smoothies before, but the kids will
tell you nothing beats the Smoothie King.
After Smoothie King, we headed
back to the hotel so the boys could shave. Keegan managed
to nick himself up pretty good. The day got backed up with
an extra long lunch and an extra long coaches meeting, so we
didn't have time to have dinner in Annapolis as planned.
Instead, we ordered pizza, played some cards, and shared
embarrassing stories until bed time. The boys need to be
resting in their rooms at 9:30pm each night and then lights out
is at 10:00pm.
Tomorrow is the biggest day of
the meet, with each of the boys swimming at least one event.
Ben and Murphy will swim the 50 Breast and then Ben and Keegan
will swim the 50 Free. |
