Thursday, September 29, was a short day, with only a few events. Ryan had one event – the 200 IM (50 of each stroke). He beat his own time by about 3 seconds, and placed 4th overall.
We often invite friends to come and watch Ryan’s home meets. We were excited to have our friends Linda, Melissa, Jonah, and Sophie join us to cheer Ryan on! Jonah (6 years old) was a little bit disappointed that Ryan didn’t “win,” but his mom said it provided them a great opportunity to discuss other elements of being an athlete (good sportsmanship, performing at your own personal best, etc.).
jonah was just so sure ryan was in the wrong lane and that the different lanes have different speeds ;) if only it were that simple!
