IT's TIME

Some of you have talked to me about feeling a little stress, and nervous about this weekend.  So lets start with waking upthe morning of the race.   Let' s start the day with a good breakfast and being on time for warmup.  Start your warm up and stay under control, we are not trying to swim to fatigue.  Get some of our stretches in as a group, as this will go a long way to settle those nerves.   As your event nears try to remove yourself from all the distractions that are around you, go that happy place in your mind.   This would be a good time to go get that second warmup done, as this will also help settle those nerves and prepare your body for the race.  Get a little fluid in you and stay warm right until your ready to get on the blocks.   As you stand behind the blocks don't forget to breathe, and visualize yourself exploding off those blocks into that easy SPEED into that first turn, and now it's on!   Enjoy the moment, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy being with your teammates.  This is a race you have done a lot of times, stay in the moment and don't make it bigger than it is.   Wednesday.
