Back to Swimming

We returned to France on Thursday, after having been delayed by the ice storms in Texas, which got our Tuesday flight cancelled and made driving treacherous - particularly since Texans don't prepare the roads and don't know how to drive on ice. The four-hour leg of our trip took me eight hours since we didn't get over 40 mph very often. Thankfully, Frédéric had warned me in advanced that our flight was cancelled, so we were able to reserve a hotel room for that night, take the trip slowly, and reach the hotel without incident despite the icy conditions.

So we had been home all of about 72 hours when Noah had his first swim meet of the season. Nonetheless, he did great! He came in second in the 50-meter backstroke, fourth in the 50-meter breaststroke, and fifth in the 50-meter freestyle.

Not bad for having jet lag!
