3 Jan Swim meet

3 Jan - Ramstein. Jamie had another swim meet. She did OK after not swimming for 3 days following a small surgery to remove a bump on her lip. She did not improve in her 100IM so she remains 3.85 sec from qualifying for Champs, she swam the same time in 50m Butterfly but she improved .91 sec in her 50m Breast and is now only 0.60 sec from qualifying in that event. She did finish 4th in the 100IM and the 50 Butterfly and finished 2nd in the 50M Breast for the event earning her team 6 total points. Kaiserslautern won the swim meet.
Jamie has 2 more swim meets to qualify for Champs - Brunnsum Belgium 10 Jan and Divisionals at Ramstein on 17 Jan. She can do this she just needs to get that fire in her belly. She was very upset at herself for being so close to qualifying so that is very good and shows she is realizing that it is hard and she has to make that extra effort. We worked one day during the break on her technique - something they don't do in practice - go figure - Anyway, we worked on turns so Jamie applied that and improved her time.
