Fail.

That’s a way to start off a blog eh? Yeah, well it’s definitely true. So the swim meet was today and what happens? My knee goes out off the start of my second event. Eff. So yeah, it was the 50 free and I was really excited to get a time for it and I was in a good competitive heat. I kept swimming despite the knee since I was already in the race, I just didn’t kick. Afterward, one of the guys from the club was like 'yeah, you were the first one off the blocks but the last one to surface on the water'. Usually that could be a good thing, but not this time. So my time for the race sucked needless to say and I didn’t swim the remaining 3 events. Boo.

I guess I can’t be too angry though. It’s been 8 ½ months since it last went out, a whole 2 ½ more than normal, woot. Ugh. Well I got to swim one race, 50 back, haha.

Finally did a little bit of repro work this week, but I mean a LITTLE. I set samples in wax for sectioning later. It was actually kind of fun, I like playing with wax, haha. I should have a few days the last week I am here for some more histology hopefully. Lots of data analysis and writing for this week though. Meh.

I had a good dinner with the coach of the Masters swimming and his wife on Friday. It was fun. Good food, good conversation, good time. Awesome doggie too. I miss being around dogs! :( Other than that not much else has happened since the last blog. Thought I would have a bit more to update on from the meet but not so much. Owell.

Fun Fact:
- Milkshakes, here and in NZ, are pretty much flavoured milk. If you want an actual milkshake, ask for a thickshake. Unfortunately it costs more. Oh, and they make them with flavoured syrup and not the respective kinds of ice cream…boo.
