We spent another long day at the pool. Max was competing in a Nairobi Swim Association Meet. There were hundreds of people in a facility with little shade, 2 toilets, and no running water. It was not pleasant. However, we consoled ourselves by remembering that we were not sitting in a cold hockey rink for the day......
Max had a very good day! He received 2 medals: silver in 100m Individual Medley (combination of fly, back, breast, free); and bronze in 100m back stroke. He also missed a bronze in the 100m Freestyle by 12 hundredths of a second. He swam his personal best in all 4 races, broke two Rosslyn school records, and qualified for "AA" meets.
We were also surprised not to have sunburns after a day in the full African sun. We are glad that they make SPF 70! Really!

Congratulations Max!
I however have been spending too much time in a cold hockey rink, which was still several degrees warmer than the outside temperature. We've had such a long deep freeze here. Spring will be a welcome friend.
