The last two days brought lots more fast swimming and sunny weather. Today, we did one of our favorite sets! Not only did we swim 7300-7900 yards, depending on the stroke group, but we also ran on the CMS track that is adjacent to the pool. The mid-distance and sprinters did 1200 meters of running, the distance swimmers, 3200 meters. After nearly 3 hours, we wrapped up an awesome day of swimming and running.

Yesterday and Sunday we also knocked out double-workouts, including another stint in the weight room yesterday morning. On Sunday evening, we had the privilege of being hosting by Senior, Ellen Banks' aunt and uncle for dinner at their home in Pasadena. Much thanks to them for hosting all of us!
Tonight, we wrap up our day with another swim workout, this time not led by us, but rather by our Captains. As per usual, the captains will put their teammates through the ringer. Historically, the captains have come up with toughest swim workout of the week. This year is sure to equally intense!
Tomorrow we head to the University of Redlands for a dual meet scrimmage in the evening. We'll be competing only in short events (100's of each stroke, 200 IM, and 200 yard relays) but after the long week of work, even the short events are sure to be challenging. Redlands is home to Defending National Champions in both the Men's 200 IM and Women's 100 freestyle. Those races are set to be extremely exciting for our sprinters and IMers!
