Day 146 - 07/16/2007

Remind me never to volunteer to be a timer for a B meet again.

(B meets, for those not familiar with summer swim leagues, are developmental meets where the kids who didn't swim at the Saturday meet [the "A" meet] have an opportunity to swim in a competitive environment. Kids who did swim at the Saturday meet can also swim at B meets, but not for an official time.)

The meet started at 6p. Not only were there multiple-dual heat events, there was also a 30 minute lightning delay. I didn't get home until just before 10p. To put it in perspective, Saturday meets are typically over in two hours (two and a half at the most).

Remind me never to volunteer to be a timer a B meet again.

(Although that being said, I do enjoy timing, it's a way to stay involved in the meet when M isn't swimming.)
