California McMillans

Saturday was City Meet, a meet at Heather Farms with all the teams from Walnut Creek.  Kira did the best.  Her events and times were 100 yard IM, 1:17.54, 4th 50 yard free, 27.76, 9th (huge time drop) 50 yard fly, 33.64, 21st 200 yard medley relay, free, 27.26 split, 2:07.16 overall, 4th Hanna did okay.   25 yard free, 28.25, 28th 25 yard fly, B division, 35.78, 1st 100 yard medley relay, back, no split, and they were disqualified for incorrect stroke.  She was happy to get a dog puppet though. Parker did okay.   25 yard free, 19.00, 29th 25 yard fly, 24.06, 26th.   The thing that's so great about Parker is his independence.  Like, "Can I buy ice cream?"   "No, you need to eat real food first."   Still wanting ice cream, he'll just get some money and buy his own treats.   At least his stroke is improving but he was faster last year.  Tyler did the 100 free in 1:06.12, 19th place.   It was a good meet.  Not too hot, no meltdowns.

Had a fun meet against Ygnacio Woods.  Hanna, Parker and I rode our bikes to the meet.  I was happy to have the 5d mkiv.  Blake swam exhibition.  The kids did well.  Woodlands won.   In the evening Heidi went shopping at Winco and Grocery Outlet.  Blake, Parker and I took a bike ride in the open space.  There was a jump we all went down.  Parker said, "Full send!"    It was a nice day.  Okay, bye.  

Saturday we swam against Walnut Creek Swim Club.  It was cold.   Here's Hanna with her 2nd mom, Katie Hanna did well.  Her events and times were 100 yard medley relay, 2:00.1, 1st 25 yard freestyle, 28.04, 3rd 25 yard back, 31.01, 2nd 100 free relay, 1:45.39, 1st Tyler did the 50 free.  27.83, 6th Kira swam in the 200 yard medley relay.  2:17.67, 1st 50 free, 29.09, 1st 50 breast 40.28, 2nd 200 yard free relay, 1:58.36, 1st Blake swam with our team for the first time this season.  His events and times were 100 yard IM, 1:24.01, exhibition 50 breast, 46.47, exhibition 50 back, 37.63, exhibition.   Parker took this picture with the Canon 40D  Mister swam okay but his technique is so bad.  He couldn't care less, though.  His events and times were 100 yard medley relay, 1:39.91, 2nd 25 free, 21.70, 9th

 Hey.  Woodlands hosted Walnut Heights yesterday.  Finally, it was warm, but not too warm.  The kids times were: Hanna, 25 yard breast, 36:11, 2nd 25 yard back, 29.80, 1st.  She also competed in the medley and free relays.  Her medley relay got 1st with 2:00.05.   Parker, 25 yard free, 20.88, 8th  25 yard fly, 26.28, 5th.  He also competed in the medley and free relays.  He doesn't practice and has terrible technique but Scott reminds me, "It's just for fun.  Don't become one of those crazy swim parents." Kira, 50 yard free, 29.34, 2nd 50 yard back, 35.41, 2nd.  She also competed in medley and free relays.  Her free relay got 1st, 1:56.92.   Hanna was the happiest about her performance and told lots of people that she got first.  It was cute.  She dropped a bunch of time from last year and is doing great as a five year old.   Tyler didn't swim because he said he was tired.  Blake attended but didn't swim.  Scott did workout with the Aquabears and then join
