No running today. Spent the entire day (from 7AM to 6:30PM) at the pool watching my daughter swim in Middlesex Development Meet. It was a county-wide meet for those who didn't qualify for county championships held back in February, sort of a consolation meet, but welcome by us, since Lisa didn't have a chance to compete since last December.
She swam 4 events and got all 4 PRs, and even medaled in all events in 14 y.o. age group, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. So, she (and her coach) were very happy.
She did 100m Ind. Medley - 1:22.74 (silver), 50m freestyle - 33.44 (bronze), 50m butterfly - 36.53 (silver) and 100m back - 1:19.20 (bronze).
Of course, I didn't get to watch London marathon, but now I see that Ryan Hall ran 2:08:24 - absolutely stunning debut. The weather wasn't perfect, although it was better than in Rotterdam, but still too warm, around 68-70F plus the sun. I think times could have been better by 1-2 min. if the weather was ideal.
