The only thing I like more than the Olympic trials - is the Olympics itself. What's more, the Little Boy has adopted my affinity for esoteric sports. That Dude is the best - he's obsessed with the upcoming Tour de France and he has watched all Olympic trial events with me; track especially, but diving and rowing as well. He's my little sports compadre and his body of knowledge is pretty impressive, especially around track and field and the Tour. And of course, swimming kicks off tonight as well, which promises to be a family affair. Even the Little Girl is excited about the swimming trials.
Speaking of swimming, this past week was the big all-star meet. The Little Girl miscalculated her finish on back and ended up third, which was slightly disappointing. She finished fifth overall in fly and sixth in IM, which was what was expected. Not bad overall, especially considering she's on the young side of her age bracket.
The Little Dude qualified for backstroke and took 12th overall. For a first year swimming, that's a pretty cool accomplishment.
