This weekend Leo participated in a two-day dive meet. He competed in 3 meter on Saturday and there were 44 kids diving in his event (not all on the same level but all sharing the same board). It made for a long morning. He didn't perform his best that day but he handled it well. I worked the snack shack all afternoon as part of my volunteer hours. I got to see some pretty incredible diving while I worked.
Saturday night there was a vegan pop-up next door to one of our favorite pizza places. Serafina was with Nana, so Tom, Leo and I went to check it out. I had delicious vegan food, Leo had pizza and Tom had both.
Today was the 1 meter event, which is Leo's stronger event. There is less time in the air for things to go wonky. He did a great job and it earned him a second place medal!
He was really proud of himself and with good reason. He works hard three times a week training to do well and his improvement is really noticeable.
This is his coach, Karla. She is absolutely wonderful with all the kids but especially Leo. I don't know if he would stick with diving if she wasn't so great and encouraging.
He did some serious chilling this afternoon after two busy mornings in a row.
