Just letting everyone know that I am back in Denver now, after a great past month. After racing at the Speedo Champions Series (Western Sectionals) meet at Mt. Hood, I took 2 weeks off to go mountain biking. The team I swim for, the University of Denver Hilltoppers, won the meet by over 500 points (men and women combined). Results can be found here My name can be searched under "Lang" and will pop up quite a few times.
I dropped 10 seconds in my 200 breaststroke, getting a 2:28.18, placing me 13th overall. I was very excited, and satisfied with this swim. I ended up dropping 3 seconds in my 100 breast, achieving a 1:06.4. This placed me 6th overall after Finals. Here I am collecting my medal.
Unfortunately, I missed qualifying for the US Open by 1 second. I am very happy with my times, however, and am excited to go after those times starting this fall. The good news is that with the times I swam in my events, I was put on the "B" Relays for the 200 medley and 400 medley relays. I was honored to represent my team and make points! Both of the B relays took 5th overall, with our A relays winning and breaking both meet and state records. A great trip indeed!
Now that I have more time to paint, I have a few jobs to take care of... The first is a Skateboard deck I started work on before my travels, and have been working on steadily for the last few weeks. I am also designing t-shirts for Vedavoo. The other is the Caterpillar from "Through the Looking Glass". Exciting and fun projects! More to come, as I upload some photos.
