good start

We had a good start to the Long Course season in the water yesterday. I have decided that Fridays are going to be a challenge day. In the mindset that the team gets to challenge themselves. the bottom line with any sport is that you will become great when you develop the self-belief that you are great. Friday nights will be an attempt to get the swimmers to try and take themselves in workout to where they were not sure they could go.

4 x 200
4 x 100
4 x 50 you pick the base intervals.

The distance and tri guys chose 1:15 base and then hammered the last 4 x 50's. It was solid. Good long strokes leading up to it and then they went after it. I really liked watching Jake and Matt go backstroke on 1;20 and watching my breaststrokers go on 1:25. We were smart int he Winter, no I am going to let them open it up. Some of them are pretty fired up and they are going to shock themselves.

On a RallySport Aquatics note, we lost a great swimmer to another team this week. We wish her the best and hope she finds what she is looking for. We also picked up a couple summer league/high school converts. More importantly, this is a young, young group that is hungry. It's going to be fun.
