I just got back from Austin an hour ago. Isabelle swam her best Long Course ever! She dropped 10 seconds on both her 100 freestyle and 50 backstroke. And she dropped 3.5 seconds on her 50 breast. WOOHOO!!
I am so happy for her. It was such a confident booster when she came out of the water to find she had dropped 10 seconds on her freestyle. That definitely set the tone for her attitude the rest of the day.
Craig is always telling her to get "Your head in the game!" Today I think she really felt great and feels better about herself. She's been feeling a little down lately that she's been unable to drop her times.
I went online and searched about a bit and found some great articles and power point presentations from ....... The Woodlands Swim Team!!!! LOL!! Isabelle says she did everything they said and she's convinced it made a difference. The biggest piece of advice that helped: "Eat to train, don't train to eat!!" I could take that to heart, too! ;-)
I also bought her some teen vitamins with iron. And have been keeping up with her asthma medicine. We tend to get lax when she's feeling better.
Yeah Isabelle!!! I'm so happy for you today!
