OTC room update: the world’s UGGLIEST curtains were installed in our bedrooms. (no photo available b/c my camera is broken)
Camera update: my dad said not to take it into a shop and pay $$ until he has a chance to fix it.
Travel update: I need to sign up for a OTC shuttle to the airport because I leave in 4 days!
4 days: I should probably start packing sometime soon!
Packing: it’s going to be hard because on of my bags on the airplane is going to be my bike box.
Bike box: I’m flying Delta and I’m going to have to shell out $80 for an ‘oversized’ bag.
Coaching update: I passed the ‘Safety Training for Swim Coaches’ on Monday.
Requirements: my First Aid and CPR certification along with the STSC test allowed me to take the Level 1 test.
Level 1: the ‘Foundation of Coaching’ test is on the USA Swimming web-site; I took it yesterday, passed with a 95%!
Processing: everything has to be processed by the Florida Swimming LSC and then I will be an official Level 1 Swimming Coach!
Future: I have been given the OK to sign up for the USA Triathlon Level 2 coaching clinic…I’m thinking about doing that next year.
Ending: Later Gators!!!
