Day 3...FINALS!

I tried to update last night but I am fighting with an internet connection that would have made Fred Flintstone cry!
This is another reason we should be glad we live in Victoria...when the pretty snow melts, all that's left is the yucky dirt and sand that they spread on the roads.

We had a great night in the pool!  Cindy started a program with the kids that they have to move up a set of 'steps', she started out with 10 to see how it would go.  To move up a step they had to improve their placing from the morning.  Sarah was up first in the 'B' final of the 100 free, she went in 8th and came out 3rd...so 5 steps!  We got halfway to the goal in 1 race!  It was also her best time in over a year!
Heidi was up next in the 'A' final of the 200 fly, she went in 6th and came out with the BRONZE and a best time!  So...3 steps!  She got to pose with Miss Teen Saskatoon(who was wearing 6" heels). 
Lauren went into the fly 10th, improved her time and came out 10th.
Heidi was up again 15 minutes later(couldn't even get on the podium for her fly medal) in the 200 back 'A' final.  She went in 10th and came out 9th...1 step.  She also improved her time from the morning.
Peter was up next in the 'B' of the 200 back, he went in 2nd and came out 2nd but improved his time from the morning.
Then we got down to business with the 400 free!
Sarah was up again, this time in the 'A' final, she went in 7th and popped out a 4th place swim!  Woohoo...another 3 steps.
JO was in the 'B' final and although she didn't move up any 'steps' she had a best time!
Finn rounded out our night in the 'B' final of the 400 but struggled a little in the race.
So, altogether they moved up 12 steps(Sarah-8 and Heidi-4)
Today is a pretty tough day for Finn and Lauren, they each have 3 swims!
The 'step' goal for today is 50!
That should be fairly achievable as the girls' relay had another technical glitch during the entries and they are going into the 4x100 medley ranked 40th of 41!  The only team below them is entered with a 'NT'...hahaha
LAST DAY!!!!!!!!!
