One more day until I race my 50 freestyle!! It has been hard waiting so long to compete, but it has been so exciting cheering on my teammates who had earlier events. Pre-lims start at 9am every day, so I will likely race my 50 around 10:30am on Saturday (that's 10:30pm on Friday night for all of you living in the Eastern Time Zone). Then, if my time is in the top 8, I will swim again at finals that night around 6 or 7pm Beijing time.
My backstroke will be on the same pre-lim/finals schedule, but I race that event on Monday the 15th. Team USA has been doing so well in the water, but unfortunately I can't tell you about all the awesome races since I am not an accredited journalist and I don't want to risk the wrath of the International Paralympic Committee, so check out the Universal Sports website for all the updates! I also promise to post all the pictures 3 days after Closing Ceremonies that I am not allowed to post during the Games.
Thank you to all of you who have sent me good luck emails and comments! I love knowing I will have a cheering section back home. A special thanks to all my HWSD teammates for your ongoing support!
