WHATS GOING ON

Hope everyone made the best of the past week.  I really hope you are settling into a somewhat normal schedule and routine.  Although you all are young and may feel it’s not that important, it is.  When you establish a regular routine for yourself it will help you feel more organized and in control, and you will feel like you had a good day and got something accomplished when your head hits the pillow.  As for myself I start the day with some dry land at the pool since I can be there by myself. I’ll take some pictures later this week with my workout stations and post them.  Breakfast and then I set up 2 tasks to get done at the pool.  This morning we got one of the pools up and running so at least I have something to look at.  The afternoon is spent doing some work on the blog, looking through old workout books.
This week I know they are pushing for everyone to stay inside more, so I changed a few things in the event you can’t get out.
For the warmups just do 1 round, for the work out and the cardio 3 rounds.  You only rest for 2 minutes after the cardio and then proceed to next round, with each round a little faster.

A little Story
Just be careful because people are going crazy from being stuck inside.  Actually I’ve been talking about this with the toaster and microwave while having breakfast and we all agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything.  Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant.  In the end the iron straightened me out as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing.  The vacuum was very unsystematic…told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over!  The toilet looked a little flushed when I asked its opinion and didn't say anything but the door knob told me to get grip . The front door said I was unhinged and so the the curtains told me  to yes, you guessed it pull myself together.🤷🏼‍♂️
Hey guys send some Pics of your drylands and what your doing and ill get it posted for the group to see.

“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
