Bode had a big swim meet this past weekend. Friday night, Bode and I went to Pensacola. Bode was swimming the 500-freestyle. His best time coming in was 5:19. His goal time before the race was 5:15. Here is Bode and Coach Jackie talking strategy before the race.
In case you can't tell, Bode has really slimmed down these past two months. Next is a picture of Bode on the blocks (not my best effort).
I did not film the 500-free, as that might get a little boring. However, it was actually pretty exciting. Bode finished the first 100 in 55 seconds, which seemed a bit fast based on his goal time. We thought he would die, but the little man pushed on and finished in 5:14!
Note he was seeded 9th coming in and finished 5th. The person that won was 21 years old :-) Friday night was the first night of the meet. Two more days to go :-) Stay tuned.
