Jean Peters 2005
So most people know i wandered off to a swim meet this weekend.
Jean Peters, Victoria, BC. 2005
Had a great time. Sarah and i hung out most of friday, sinse Jaclyn didnt catch the boat until 9pm (arriving at 11) Took lots of video. Oh, because im doing a part year project in film on my weekend. I wish i could have taken more, but I was only given one 60minute tape. By sunday i was trying to conserve, but i only had 12 minutes left. I deleted some things so i could get the masters. I mean a 70-79 catagory?? How could i not include that!
I competed in Teir 5, against three other teams. We proudly came in LAST, but our figure scores were so effin good we were moved up to second in championship! (I suppose thats all that really matters, you dont get medals for team) I cant believe how good our figures are this year. Sarah has come in first every meet we've competed in (She got a trophy!) Jaclyn is always in the top five. I came in ninth (out of 27 which is great because last meet i came in 12 out of 18 :/) Kim OFCOURSE came in first. She competed up in teir six, and ended up about 6-7 points over the one other competator in that catagory.
Seeing as all the teir 6's were at westerns (Or had gone to)
Marie didnt do so well (22nd) but our average was 6.2 something something..if i recall. Nanimo diamonds were 6.0. Then the other two teams were 5.9 and 5.8. The reason i was so happy about coming in nineth was that the {Burnaby synchro team}'s highest place was 8th. I mean, i beat almost all of THAT team, and i cant even point my toes correctly. How great did i feel!!
Lots of film from saturday and sunday. Jaclyn burning some popcorn in our hotel room. Sean (sarahs boyfriend) showed UP on saturday right before our team with a bunch of pink roses for sarah! He is the most adorable guy ever. Im so glad i finally got to sit down and hang out with him this weekend. Hes 19, but looks about 16, and has braces, but he is hella funny. We all went in the hot tub saturday night (Sean didnt have a bathing suit so he went in in his boxers) but when he stood up to get out things...werent quite in place. Sarah didnt notice, but he just laughed it off when I had just made an obvious comment about seeing his penis. Its people that can roll with those kind of punches that i really respect. And infront of a bunch of younger girls that we didnt know in the hottub aswell.
Masters was extremely interesting to watch. One woman, Greta Spittle, was in the 70-79 competition catagory. I mean, seriously, if im swimming at that age i would be SO PROUD.
Other news. Lindsay had a blatter infection so she couldnt swim. Which technically should have given us a penalty. (They compete in the team catagory, but theres only 4 of them, minus Lindsay is 3, which is the Trio catagory) But they still did well. Their tech team went GREAT! Compared to what they usually look like, but their team could have been a little more on time. Carolyn has a hard time still sinse she joined about half way into the year and hasnst swam for what...about 5? hehe.
But they came in second! I was so proud. I couldnt imagine any of our coaches swimming, other then Tracy.
They kept saying "From Oceanus Synchro. Marta {er cant recall last name} Andrea Figueria, Carolyn Kinnes, and sometimes Lindsay Baker!" Lindsay felt like a joke, but hopefully she'll be able to start swimming soon. :)
