Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Greetings from the Houston Airport (IAH, that tis... not Hobby--and apparently "Iah" means "moon" in Egyptian).

At the moment, I await my flight back to Lauderdale, with my neighboring flights being to: Paris (Charles de Gaulle), London (Gatwick), Guadalajara (I believe with continuing service to San Salvador), New York (JFK) and Raleigh/Durham. I do have my passport with me, maybe I should hope on one of the others...

Weekend was good. Meet went well, I got to hang out with some folks from San Antonio (even saw a few members of the UT swim team from my tenure there), and drive around in a Saturn Ion (though the rental car place almost didn't give me a car because they couldn't find me in their system--luckily I had my confirmation number with me). The picture above is actually from the meet (relay members awaiting the end of the relay, so that can exit the pool on the side).

Times from this weekend (in order):
Saturday:

• 500 free: 4:49.41 (6 second drop from Feb--putting me ahead of KC)
• 200 back: 1:56.85 (-6 from Feb; and split 58.25/58.60)
• 100 free: 51.27 (25.31/25.96--not the ideal way to split this)
• 100 fly: 54.39 (25.46/28.93--closer to the good way)

Sunday:

• 200 IM: 2:04.43 (I completely forgot how to swim this; I was doing 1/2 a 400 IM, but it was early in the morning: maybe I wasn't really awake yet)
• 100 back: 53.45 (26.79/26.66--good time, although the NS isn't ideal and I had a good start...)
• 200 fly: 1:59.21 (-.8 from Feb (and like 15 minutes after the 100 back--tightest turn-around of the weekend), 27.11 / 58.09 (30.98) / 1:29.32 (31.23) / (29.89)) [splits for Jarret :-p]
• 200 free: 1:50.21 (55.3/54.9-->1/2 second faster than Feb)
• 1650: 17:22 (about 40 seconds slower, but swam to work on stuff/race structure, rather than speed)

[Full results here]

Well, my flight prepares to board, so I will sign off for now... hasta

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
[Rhythm of the Rain was stuck in my head for the weekend, after I heard it on the way to the airport on Friday.]
