After the morning session, some of the adults went and bought a tray of sandwiches for the boys, as they needed fuel before the night session. Here's a shot of the boys shoveling food into their mouths before Coach Jasson told them to go to their hotel rooms and lie down.
Before we knew it, we were back at the pool. Here's a cute shot of Bode after doing a warm up.
Here's another picture of him working on his start.
The boys' first event of the night session was the B-final for the 200 Medley relay. As in the morning, Bode swam the butterfly leg, and he swam a best time of 24.38.It was a tight finish, but the boys managed to finish 15th with a best time of 1:44.20. Bode had about an hour break before the B-final of the 100-fly. He was hoping to break the 53-second barrier, but he said he was a bit tired after the long day. Ultimately, he finished 13th with a time of 53.38 (he said he was not happy with his start :-( Below is the video, and we could not be prouder of how Bode did this season. Here is a link to the overall results. Afterwards, we had time for a few more photos. First, the boys and their coach.
Next, we have a shot of Ashley, me, Bode, and Grandpa (Janet took the picture). Grandpa and Janet were nice enough to drive down from South Carolina for the big meet, and it was great seeing them and having them there although we do feel bad in that we didn't really do anything other than watch swimming and get ready for swimming. Nana and Papa also made the trip down, but I couldn't find any pictures :-(
We then headed back to the hotel for more food.
We had a great time at state, and we sure hope we can go back next year. We made it home safely to a couple dogs that were happy to see us.
It is hard to believe that Bode turns sixteen in a couple weeks :-)
