We are off today, so that gave us a chance to explore Birmingham! Britt started the day with a swim at the Crossplex after the morning prelims were complete. She had a lane all to herself and could really focus on turns and finishes and get ready for tomorrow morning's swim!
After a yummy lunch at the Subway that is directly connected to our hotel we made our way over to the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and Museum that was directly across the street from where we are staying. Britt, Suzanne, Bill and myself had the pleasure to have a tour of the Museum from the Facility Director Bill Miller, a Pennsylvania native and former LHU Athletics employee! (Its a small world). We really had a great time and I can honestly say that just like everything has been in Birmingham, the museum was first class. We took a picture with Bill in front of the exhibit of Rowdy Gaines, former Auburn swimmer and Olympian.
It was a great afternoon, and we'd like to thank Bill again for taking his time to take us through the facility!
Tonight we are on our way back to the Crossplex to see Mark Manno throw and support Haven Nation! Then dinner and a relaxing night getting ready for Britt's swim tomorrow! Lets Go HAVEN!
