Well, it was quite the competition.  I ended up 20th on 3 meter and 22nd on one meter.  Even though I didn’t get into the semi-finals, I was so close on both boards.  The difference between 8th and 20th on 3 meter was 10 points, which is so little.  It was amazing to be in a competition where for the first time, I really felt like I deserved to be there.  It was such a great meet. 

I guess this means the end to my blogging as my Olympic hopefuls are over for this year, but by no means is diving over for me.  There were two masters divers at this meet, one in his forties and one in his fifties who were still diving at the level that I am today.  Just one more example that my career is by no means over.  I am going to keep at it and see what happens with summer nationals.  I’m just not quite ready to give it up. 

 Thanks for being a part of my adventure.  I hope that you have enjoyed following along just a little bit.  Take care!
