Area 1-4 Championships - Third USA Swimming Competition of the Season

The Area 1-4 Championships was my third USA Swimming event of the season. (See the post "Unexpected Results"). It was the first time I swam 2 events in a single meet. Tough stuff for this old guy! It's great preparation for the Open Water season. Keeping up with these young talented swimmers is nothing less than a dream!Thanks to some great coaching by Coach Hardy and the encouragement of my comrade Diego De Los Rios I was able to beat my personal best. To be surrounded by great people is a blessing all it own. Then the wonderful women in my life, Candice and Mom! I was so happy that mom came to my swim meet. that was a first and not the last!
