Fran Crippen Memorial Swim Meet of Champions
The Fran Crippen Memorial Swim Meet of Champions (SMOC for short) was a lot of fun. The first day I swam the 100 free in a 53.6 in the morning and swam on a UCSC relay at night which took fourth splitting a 53.3. On Saturday, I swam the 200 breast making the A finals and finishing sixth in a 2:21.5. The last day I swam the 100 breast finishing tenth in a 1:04.9. The breaststrokes were a little slower than I wanted, but I am working a lot on technique and hopefully the changes will show up soon.
The weekend I got to stay with some former Stanford teammates with Patrick Simpkins and current Stanford senior Michael Zoldos. It was also great to catch up with them, John Criste, Chad La Tourette, and the Zaich’s at a great dinner Saturday night and throughout the meet.

I will be training for the next week in San Diego on the Coronado Island with my racing group from UCSC. It is a beautiful spot in sunny California. I love training outside and will look to get some good work in this week before we start tapering and focusing on more speed work.
