First day of Olympic Trials

Day one of adventures in Olympia:
Four of us (Chris, Erin, Sarah, and me) got to sit in the luxury boxes at the morning session, thanks to the generosity of Indiana Swimming, and so we were really close to the start of the races. At this meet they have what is called a clean deck, where no swimmers, coaches, or any other people but the officials can be on the deck of the pool during the races. Because of this, they march all of the swimmers in just before their heat, so it is REALLY cool.
Jenny swam the 100 meter butterfly today and was seeded 76th. She got a best time today and finished 53rd, so that is awesome!
Dad, Chris, Erin, and I went to the finals tonight, and for the first time, I saw world records get broken. Michael Phelps broke his in the 400 IM and Katie Hoff broke hers in the 400 IM. I also saw probably the best race ever in the 400 Free where three guys battled it out for the top two places, and all three went under the American record. It was soooooooo cool!
Jenny update: she is feeling really good. She's really excited for tomorrow and can't wait to get going. She really feels like she can do her best here, which makes us feel good too!
We're so proud of her and know that whatever she does tomorrow or Tuesday, assuming she makes the finals, will be her best, and she has represent her family, her team, and the Church in an amazing way. Thanks for all of your support!
