Wednesday finals and Day 2

WEDNESDAY FINALS and Day 2Thursday


Wednesday night we had 3 relays along with 5 swimmers competing in the pool. Anthony was swimming the 200 back again and would swim another best time going 3 seconds faster from the morning.
 
 
Faith and Maggie would also swim the 50 breast stroke and both had great swims posting best times again.

 
Faith, Anthony ,Peter and Ian also had the 50 free at final. All three would post best times in the event. The 11 and 12 relay with Ellie, Lexi, Allison and Faith had a great swim. Both 13-14 relays did well with Ian, Fletcher, Marcelo , Kyle, Lauren Maggie, Elena and Julia . This would end the first day of racing for the Makos.
Thursday Day 2 arrived early and we would drop off the 13-14 yearl olds early and go back for the 12 and unders. We had a real good warm up as we arrived a little later and allowed that first wave to clear the pool. The first event of the day was the 200 IM. and first up was Julia who set the tone by dropping over 7 seconds in the event. Not to be out done Lauren, Katherine, Justin, Peter, Ian, Lexi, Kyle and Anthony all had great swims while posting best times for the season. Next up were the fly events for the day and Justin posted his second best time of the day in the 50 , and Fletcher (coming off chicken pops) came up a little short in the 200 fly. The next event of the day was the 50 back with Audrey, Marcelo, Faith , Allison, Peter and Anthony all swimming best times. Ellie, Ian, Lauren, Julia all swam well posting about their same times. The last event for us was the 500 free with Marcelo, Gabby and Elena swimming and all three having very good swims with Elena dropping over 3  seconds in her race.   All three relays were out of finals but swam very well in the morning with many good splits recorded.
We decided that this would be the day to let the kids go and have what we hope would be a fun day for them, as we had only three swimmers in finals. We would arrive back at the pool at 4:45 for finals and after going through our warm ups Katherine 100 IM, and Anthony and Lexi in the 50 back would all post best times for the year. Anyone who notices Anthony made the 200 I'm final but was scratched in very late in the afternoon and I was not aware of it so that is why you may see a NS for that event.



This was the end of our second day.

“If it’s important to you, you will find a way.  If not, you will find an excuse.” FEEDING YOUR MUSCLES   Having trouble with those early morning workouts or competition?  Not sure what to eat or how much so that you can perform at an optimal level and get through it? Understanding the process and how to get there is not an easy one.Waking up early to jump into a cold pool for either swim practice or  a swim meet is no easy feat.  For sure one of the biggest advantage is you get to see the sun rise and you have a jump on everyone else.  One of the first things that you have to do to survive a early workout/swim meet is to fuel your vessel. By the time you wake up your body is already starving.  You need to figure out a way to fuel it that works for you.  It's not something that you can ignore because the consequences will affect your success.  I was amaze or maybe not that so many of you have nothing to eat before arriving at the pool in the morning.  This is an area of your traini

Westward passage

  So I’ve made it this far riding south with the Rockies off to my right just need to find the correct route to go up and over, where is Coach Heather and her GPS not that I would listen to her.   Crossed over into Canada from North Dakota and went west in Canada.to Calgary and turned left south to Billings Montana  This will be our road west. Sun road in glacier national park.  On another note will be ending in San Diego sometime late week.  Hoping to be back by Friday practice but because of the heat we are riding less miles with more breaks.  Will definitely be there at st James Saturday morning barring any catastrophe. Make sure for you prep kids you get a good day of rest tomorrow and a good night sleep.  Get your homework done.  That first day will set the tone for the entire year.  The gold and blue groups let’s get some rest, get your homework 📚 done and set the tone for a successful season on day 1. Remember our motto “WIN”

PRACTICE

  "If you don't practice you don't deserve to win." ANDRE AGASSI So you come to practice on a consistent basis hardly ever missing but yet you are always missing out on that one great swim you've been searching for.  The hard question that you need to ask yourself is this; Do I practice with with a determination to improve or do I just show up swim with little focus on what you are doing or why?  If that's the way you practice you will end up like the dog just swimming never able to capture the one big swim your searching for.  Like you after the race you will think your tired but frustrated that you came up short again. Practice is the Foundation for all of your swimming successes now and in the future and it all goes back to our theme for the season. "WIN". (What's Important Now" ).  Simply said Focus on what we are doing in practice at the moment. It's about how you approach practice and what and how you do in the water during that t
