Arrival in Irvine

Posted by Garrett      
  

Hey y'all just want to give you a quick update from Irvine. I arrived safe and sound to some beautiful weather. The first day I got in the water at the competition facility I was super pumped about being here. I'm a bit of a goofy guy and the entire time I was swimming I couldn't help laughing to myself underwater in excitement. I'm feeling great, my parents and sister are here, the pool is awesome, I'm eating good food. Let's be real...what could be better? Yesterday I did a little time trial 100 fly and went a best time of 55.8. I was out in 25.2 which is really fast, especially being unshaven with a huge beard! Eddie was really happy with my performance and that always boosts my confidence. Today is just a day of rest and preparation for the 50 meter freestyle tomorrow. My infamous beard will come off tonight, as I shave down and prepare for the big 50 tomorrow. My spirits are flying super high. I guess you could just say I'm a happy happy fellow!
