Thursday - our LAST day of prelims

Wow - time has flown this week. I can't believe we saw our last prelims this morning. Our pile of tickets, which seemed huge earlier this week, has dwindled to our last two tickets.

Thanks to some O-T-C medicine I'm making it through the day. But, instead of going to the Lewis & Clark exhibit today we are back at the hotel room. Hopefully we'll check it out tomorrow before we leave Omaha.

Unfortunately Ava's 100 free time didn't get her back into the semi-finals tonight. Amanda saw her in the stands while we were still at the prelims and got to chat for a few minutes. Ava said she has been enjoying the Olympic Trials experience, but is ready to go back to Auburn. It sounds like the team will be leaving together on Sunday. There were quite a few swimmers from Auburn who had qualified to swim this past week.

Personally, I'll be cheering for Dara Torres in the 100 free tonight. She is 41 years old and looked good in this mornings swim. I wish I could get her autograph tonight! Once again we're expecting some good swims tonight - as we've seen all week.
