Relay take-over

Today Pippa and I woke up early for Pippa to race at the Belgian Championships.in the Charleroi pool. This morning’s 100m freestyle did not deliver the much wanted personal best time. The photo, however, is during the 4 x 100m freestyle relay races - Pippa taking over from Eva as the 3rd swimmer. They raced as the Brabo 16 year old team. They finished in the 2nd fastest time overall, well clear of the other 16 year old teams. They were also faster than all other 16 year and 17-18 year old club teams. Only the Brabo 19+ year team was faster, but they were disqualified due to a too quick take over. A gold medal well deserved! In the extra Pippa receives her medal with the rest of her team on the rostrum.
