Julia won her heat in freestyle this morning, but didn't get into the finals, she did her 25 yard freestyle in 24.06 seconds, her best time by another 4 seconds. Her 24.06 put her in 24th place for all the heats, the leader was at 20.something, so these heats are all very tight. She's a little bummed by all of this, still young to understand it all. Of course, there were other bigger kids on our team who weren't making the times they wanted to either, and there were some real tears being shed some of the time.

She must of messed up her stroke in butterfly (she's usually pretty good at this stroke) because she was DQ'd. And that's how our day at the pool ended on Saturday!

I have 2 rows of outside boards now nailed in on the new wall in the tackroom. It's been staying hot outside until about 700 or 730pm, so I can't expect to get much else done.
