Rock Island ORCA the Pentathlon Challenge

Over the weekend Abigail participated in her 3rd swim meet. This was the first meet that you could sign up for five events, most are up to four events. Also the first one that she did the butterfly, her least favorite stroke. She did so awsome. In all four stroke events she came in first in her heat, out of six girls. She improved her time in three out of the four events. The individual medley, 100 IM, she came in second. We are very proud of her. She was exhausted afterwards. She got up at 5:30, left at 6:10, and was in the pool for warm-ups at 6:45. Events started at 8, and went till about noon. I was so excited to get so many good pictures I just had to share them all. I did have to explain to her that she just made it difficult for her next meet because she did so well, and improved her times, she will be swimming against faster girls next time. But she is up for the challenge.
