Miscas (= practice States)

added time to both events (fly and IM) but.... didn't swim in "magic suit" because coach declared it dead during warm-up. OK, so we kinda knew it was dead-ish, but on Monday she took it in for coach to check out and the verdict was -borderline, use it at Miscas and see how it goes. If you dump it during warm-up, you shoulda been able to dump it on Monday -it hasn't been anywhere since... and we coulda got her a new one in time. None available in her size for a loaner or to buy, apparently, and she was in early events, so not a lot of time available.... trying to get her fixed up fucked up her warm-up and her happy-place. Not a happy swim-mom tonight. (She swam OK, but we could have fixed this -a "magic suit" typically drops 3 seconds per 100 -she could have got 2 state cuts. Maybe. Now we'll never know
