So I think I may have found my future husband. He better have health insurance though, otherwise, I retract my proposal.

State Championships!!!
Hated this pool. Hated this starter and starter system, With that being said, "GREAT MEET!"
On the second day, the computers crashed after the last heat of the individual events but before the relays. We had about 30 minutes to "relax" The whole Narwhal Team got in the pool and goofed around. "Practicing" our synchro, doing imitations of age group kids, and just be goofy. With all the hootin' and hollerin' and narwhal song singin', we were having a ball. If I would have been on another team, I would have been jealous of all the fun the MACs were having.
I was told that on my 50 Free that I held a 5.6 stroke rate! Pretty good for me!!! Touchpad time was a 37.66. An all time best!
Here is my 100 Free with a time of 1:25.11
50 Back 46.06
400 Free 7:02.61 - I really wanted to swim under 7 minutes. This swim felt like crap but at least my time didn't get slower. Maybe next time...
50 Fly 44.89
This race felt great!!
East Valley Invite
What a great day to do a long course meters swim!
3 Events:
50 Free
So my left arm seems to go a little wonky, as I'm getting tired, which is something I am going to definitely work on. Also Coach Paul said, "I had to do a double take, you were going so fast." :) I ended up placing third with an official time of 38.05. It really makes my goal of swimming 50 yards free in 30 seconds flat seem doable.
50 Back
Holding steady with a 45.85 coming in second.
400 Free
1:39.19
3:25.45
5:15.32
7:02.07 meaning that my 100's were consistant on the 1:39.19
1:46.26
1:49.87
1:46.75

Misty Hyman Clinic
Had a great chance to meet Misty and hear her inspiring "underdog" story. After seeing her Olympic gold race (which you can watch here) we got into the pool to learn the art of the underwater dolphin kick.
Practicing doing an underwater exaggerated dolphin kick on your side.
And after eating pizza and drinking some gatorade, we got to meet the star. She was the sweetest!

2011 Spring Nationals at Kino!
So I got out of the hospital on Thursday, after a two week stay, and helped with the clerk of course Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I decided to swim one event on Sunday, with my goal being to just finish...and under :47 would be acceptable.
I'm so glad I did it and I even finished my 50 back in :45.53, placing 19th, which ended up being dead last. No worries though, I was just glad that they didn't have to fish me out of the pool!
