Today I competed in the finals for 3m individual at the 2008 Kaiser Permanente National Championships in Pasadena. Here is a picture of my with my awesome teammates who dove with me. They did an outstanding job and I am really proud of them! Two are 15 and one is 13--Look out 2012!!
I dove well, and I won my 5th National Title with 349 points. I was overall really pleased with how I dove. Although, there is (as always : ) room for improvement. There are some really bad habits my coach and I have been working on getting rid of for quite some time that I cannot seem to shake. So while I was a bit frustrated with that, I did dive well, and I think I am on track for what I want to accomplish in Beijing. I have a little more than two weeks until I compete.
Wow! That really is soon, isn't it?
I found out what my Olympic Suit will look like! I am sponsored by TYR, and they have done a great job with my suit. Today we also received the outfitting given to us by Speedo, which is the US diving sponsor. There was alot of great stuff in there. Soon we will be leaving for San Jose for Team Processing, where we will get outfitted by Nike--the USOC sponsor. I will have no lack of clothes to bring to Beijing! It is really really fun to get lots of USA gear. Here is a picture of my competition suit and some of the things I have received so far.
Tomorrow night the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center is hosting a send off gala for us where we will do an exhibition show. Then on Monday we will leave for San Jose where we will go through Team Processing.
Go USA!!
