Last weekend I finally got to go to Greymouth for South Island Country and Town Swim Meet. I didn't win anything but I got Personal Best times in 50 and 100 Freestyle and 50 Backstroke, 1.5 second improvement in my 50's and 9 second improvement in my 100 and I didn't get last in anything, I did miss my PB in the 100 Backstoke. Southland got the trophy for most points for a region and my club Orca was third placed club overall, and Southland were the loudest team there we shouted down Eastern Districts even though they were a bigger and older team than us! It was a really long trip to drive there and back.
The weekend was made even better when my sister Jamie won three awards for hair dressing at the L'Oreal Hair Dressing Compettion in Auckland. She won her category, the Peoples Choice Award and the Magazine Editors Choice Award. This was the first time a hairdresse rhad won three awards at this competition in one night! She won $8000 in prizes but she isn't going to take me to Sydney as the second person in the trip for two that she won.
Wow to take 9 seconds off a 100m time is huge Kees, well done! Sounds like you had a very successful trip!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting news about Jamie also :)
