My Memory...

...failed me!

Tried to remember brutal Christmas training yardage Mansfield senior group went and was waaaaaaaay off.  It was for one (1) week and they went 90,075 yards.  About 15,000 per day for six days.

Seventeen made it.

Over half of them went on to swim in D-I and D-II programs.

Don't they look happy?







 A little rain this afternoon:

We put in some mileage today!  12,800 for any who made both as written.

TBT to 2015 & 2016

How many will...

...crack the 100,000 yard barrier over the break?

 Day 1 is in the books.  We had eleven (11) this afternoon.

Tied at one workout each are MB, SE, ZH, AL, CR, FR, HS, ST, FV, GV, & MV

No dry-land tomorrow a.m.  Two-hour swim practice.  Please arrive early enough to get tarps pulled so we can splash at 8:00.

Something for the divers:

307C (3.4)

407C (3.2)

HS championship meet suits have been ordered.  Here's a preview (courtesy of Kiefer) of care instructions:

To reap all the benefits of a tech suit you want them fresh and crisp, new out of the box.

If you take excellent care of them they will certainly reward you.

This means rinsing and air drying them after each use.

Never put them in a dryer.

 Ever.

Tomorrow

Today, divers and swimmers pushed through the pain and did some great work.

We'll have a full workout tomorrow, but the intensity will be much lower.

Veterans know the need for recovery and that's what we'll shoot for...really...honest...I wouldn't lie about it...that wouldn't be funny...at all...would it?

Quote of the Week

Recycling this one from September of 2016.  Makes sense, doesn't it?

You can't get much done in life if you only
work on the days when you feel good.
