Last Day of Phase II
This afternoon's workout is the last one of our second phase of training ... tomorrow we shift into the "rest" phase. In an effort to have everyone swim super fast and make some cut times in the middle of the season we do a mini-taper for the IUP invite next weekend. We will be swimming the weekend after Thanksgiving too ... so we will have a few opportunities to swim super fast before we start phase 4 (my personal favorite) winter training!!!

Movie
Break Up ended up being the movie of choice.
There is an actor in the movie, Justin Long, same guy that's in all the Apple computer commercials ... Hilarious dude.
(Reminds me of my all time favorite show ED)

vs. Mansfield ~ PANCAN.org
This past Saturday's meet versus Mansfield was against Mansfield. We also sold a large number of Purple Shirts (see crazy jo-el for the modeling photo) in support of www.PANCAN.org. An organization to support Pancreatic Cancer Research. Team looked great rockin’ the purple shirts.
We had a great meet. Our women have a tremendous amount of team spirit … I don’t think we have had such a supportive group of teammates in any of the previous seasons. Britt Rehrig added to her tally of PSAC qualifying times with the lead off leg of the 100 backstroke and her swims in the 200 IM & 200 breaststroke. The IM was good enough for 4th on our all time top 5 performance list and the breaststroke ranks her 3rd.
Another standout performance was Alison Schaefer’s 1000 free … we may have found her calling. Sam Durham and Kasey Campbell battled it out during the whole 200 free (.04 apart after the first 50, .40 apart after the 100, .05 apart after the 150) with Sam finishing 1 tenth of a second ahead of Kasey. Fun race!!
Jenna Brooks and Rachel Vagnoni went 1-2 in the 50 freestyle, Britt and Sarah Navarro went 1-2 in the 200IM with very impressive swims. Amanda Palmer won the 200 fly. Sam also won the 100 free, with Brittany williams placing 2nd. Our 200 breaststrokers, Britt, Amanda and Sarah had the times to go 1,2,3.
The team was rewarded was some wonderful Halloween treats … complements of Katie (our GA), Kim (my fiancé) and Mrs Rehrig (britt’s mom). Tonight we are going to have our 5th annual Halloween practice. I am happy to report (sorry Mr E) that I broke the record in terms of poundage of candy purchased.

We are really trying to develop a racing mentality during practices ... I heard a very wise coach (Kris Kubik - Univ of Texas Men) say once that "it is okay to race" ... so for this set I had the women (starting with the seniors) all pick someone they could race on the fast parts. The set went very well and we are (hopefully) on our way to developing some great racing habits.

Join the Fight
The women have decided to take it upon themselves to do a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer this year. With the help of Mrs Campbell the team put together a design (above) to sell T-shirts with the proceeds going to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org).
We will be selling them before our meet with Mansfield Univ on 10/31 and we are hoping to have our stands filled with our purple shirts!

Crimson v. White & Alum 2009 edition
The day started quite spirited with both teams sporting some really nice “costumes”. (see pictures below). The White team entertained with a wonderful dance….
Sad faces appeared when I told them it was time to set up the lane lines and get ready to swim. Once we set everything up we had a really nice warm up and the stands began to fill up. Lots of family and friends, along with the women’s soccer team, supporting the teams.
We had one of our Alum’s show up with her racing suit on, Carole Kepler, and Mary Ewanich (our intern assistant for the semester) raced as well. They started by sharing duties on the medley relay. Ended up racing the 100 back and the 50 free … the team was very supportive of the Alum’s races.
There are 9 events offered and this year we had 4 new meet records!! Amanda Palmer broke 2 of her own records (100 fly, 200im) and Britt Rehrig broke the 100 breaststroke record (with an unofficial PSAC time & good enough for 3rd on our all time top 5 performances list). The 4th record was the White team’s 200 free relay of Sam Durham, Becky Fountaine, Amanda Palmer & Brittany Williams.
It was a really fun, exciting way to kick off the season. I am really excited for our first opportunity to race another team. In just about a month we will head to Canton OH, to race Univ of Findlay, Malone College and Urbana College. It is going to be an awesome opportunity to race in the same pool as the NCAA national championships!
