Back in the Water for Competition

Last night Jen and I represented our respective employers at the Richardson Corporate Olympics. With the exception of last year I have been competing in the event since 2002 and I’m pretty sure Jen hasn’t missed a single year in that time. The only change was when she defected switched from competing for the TI to RISD when they started fielding a team.

Each year they seem to tweak the scoring format a little bit and this year the only two individual events were the 50 Free and 50 Back. They also have a mixed relay but we didn’t swim on those teams. Since the meet has a large number of people who have never really swum before no one is allowed to start off the blocks which makes things a little difficult. Overall we were pretty successful in our individual races, RISD ended up winning the meet and TI placed third.
