Another day in the books and those goggle tan lines are really starting to take shape! Our distance swimmers reached a season high 13,400 yards today between their two workouts, sprinters and mid-distance, a measly 11,700. Add in 30 minutes of weights before this morning's workout and we really cranked out some high caliber work. Adding together the last three days of workouts, and we have already stacked up over 30,000 yards (that's over
17 miles) of swimming, plus one dryland workout and one weight workout. Despite the intensity of the practices, spirits--and caloric intake--remain high!
Tomorrow morning we hit the road for Balboa Island and the beach! Though it won't exactly be a day off, with energy being spent running around the beach rather than swimming, it will no doubt be the mental break that the team needs to ensure the work we do in the pool stays focused and high quality. The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and highs near 70. Just right!
Here are a few pictures from today's workouts
