first off. today at the race course i learned that ballet flats equal high fashion. my teammates thought this was the most rediculous/funniest thing ever that i showed up wearing them. I would like to say that sopping wet tennis shoes from flipping or ballet flats? i choose ballet flats. it was a nice distraction from nerves.
Racing:
My double, the team of Pitts/Smith-Staines (yes, its Pitts Staines) made the semifinal!!! we thought we were 5th and we turned out to be third so we advanced! we had a powerful sprint and now i just need to NAIL it tomorrow and I'm golden. we battled it out, attempting to steer straight, not hit the boat in the lane next to us, keeping on it with the legs, we did Not having ANY crabs (a major improvement), coming out with a time 45 seconds faster than our club nationals race. I had the worst case of nerves but I prayed, tried to focus and stay calm and we didnt have our greatest race ever but so much better than Tennessee. With a little determination and LEGS we can hopefully make it into the final tomorrow afternoon.
tomorrow we have the quad race and the semi final. and hopefully it will go well.
