JEI went pretty well. I got in a few good swims and escaped the meet without getting injured. I went 1:07.2 in the 100 br, 1:01.8 in the 100 fly, and then 2:32 in the morning of the 200 br. Lea and I decided to scratch out of finals because my groin was feeling a little funny and we didn’t want to risk even a small injury this close to trials. Plus I was able to get back home and rest instead of getting home close to midnight. I felt totally fine today so I think that the plan worked.

Rest is going to be the theme of the next three weeks. I was planning on lifting through this week but Lea decided (and I agree) that I need to rest up to get more speed in the front end of my races. I’m doing great on the get home but haven’t found that “pop” yet to get me out of the gates and racing. I’ve checked out the race videos and think that I just need to get a lot more out of my legs. So, lifting is officially finished.

Other than that, not much is going on. I just got the rest of my clothes from the What Not to Wear experience. The people from the show weren’t happy with the tailoring that got done here so they brought a few pieces back with them to New York to have their tailor fix. So now they are perfectly fitted to me…even more incentive not to eat my way out of finals!
