Swim Meet/St. Michael/Oct. 20-21, 2012

Mira had her first non-Life Time Fitness swim meet today, so this is the official one! She entered 4 events (50M freestyle, 50M backstroke, 50M breaststroke, 50M butterfly). Today she competed in the freestyle and backstroke. Tomorrow is the breaststroke and butterfly.

Mira did really well! I was so focused on taking photos of the freestyle, that I didn't even note the time or how she placed. Oops!

 On your mark. Go!

 Last stretch of the freestyle:

 Touching the wall at the finish!

 Race is over. Out of the pool!

 In line for the 50M backstroke:

 Ready to begin the backstroke:

 Her time and place. Mira was in lane 1 for both her races. She placed 3rd in the backstroke!

For the backstroke, Mira had a time of 1:03 and placed 3rd in her heat. She was so proud of herself (and Mom and Dad are super proud too!). We were glad her heats were close to each other (only 35 minutes apart), because there is a lot of waiting around at a swim meet. We were able to leave after her 2nd heat and were home by 10:30. Tomorrow is the same schedule. Looking forward to seeing how she does!
