Canada captured two more gold medals in the past two nights with Brian's win in the 200 IM and Darryl's surprise victory in the 100 fly. After Brian won he sat on the lane rope and did his infamous "this guy" pose, with his thumbs pointing at his shoulders. Silly BJ. Annamay also came through with a strong finish for silver in the women's 200 breast. Looks like the Dolphins are maving some hefty waves here. So far the swimmers have collected all of Team Canada's medals. Perhaps that means there will be another swimmer chosen as flagbearer for the closing ceremonies. We'll have to wait and see for that.
I had my 100 back tonight and swam a season best time of 1:02.40. I'm pretty happy with that, but I know that I can actually go way faster. I've got another shot with the lead out on the medley relay tomorrow night, so hopefully I can put together the race that I know I can do.
Today we actually saw the sun for a bit in the morning! It was nice to whip out those shades that I've been carrying around all weekend. Of course I decided to take my umbrella out of my bag for finals, and we had a 10 minute downpour monsoon-style during warm-up. Definitely appreciating the fact that the pool is outdoors but has a roof covering it.
Other than that we're not up to much more besides swimming, drinking water, sleeping, drinking water, eating and oh yeah, drinking some more water. Gotta stay on top of that humidity.
Two more days of competition to go.... Go Canada!
