Quick Update

We had a great showing at this afternoon's SR meet.  Both Cal & Kutztown are 2 of the strongest women's only program in the PSAC, so bringing them to our house provided some really good competition!

I honestly haven't had a chance to review all the results in terms of top 5 times, season best times etc, but I can tell you we had some spectacular efforts today.  Once I do get a chance to review everything I will post an update.

Special congrats to Amanda Palmer, Becky Fountaine & Shannon Wilbur ... our 3 graduating seniors!!

Go Haven!!

Beach workout


Don't let the sun fool you...it's still chilly

I decided it was just a little too chilly this morning to go swim ... so we all went back to bed and then went to the beach for some dryland.

day 2 in the books

Tonight's workout had us divided into 4 different groups.  All of which had some rather intense portions of a workout...really great efforts in all 4 lanes!

This afternoon we took a small group to the Da Kine Diego Burrito stand ... a LHU swimming favorite.  We are planning 1 more trip this week.  Quick story ... This is our 4th trip in 5 years to Cocoa Beach ... year 1, this burrito stand was right in downtown Cocoa Beach....year 2 we were in Jacksonville, year 3 the burrito stand was gone, year 4 we found it ... 12 miles down the street from the hotel, we went twice!!  Year 5 (this year) we have re-discovered the delish burrito!!

2 practices tomorrow....Go Haven!!

sunny and (not so) warm Florida

Day 2's morning workout/meet with Edinboro & Northern Michigan wasn't any warmer than yesterday.  I am really proud of the how the team is handling it ... I told them at our team meeting that we really can't do too much about the weather, we just need to push through it and get the most out of every practice ... so far so good.

Tonight's workout will be our first one by training groups ... odds are we will keep the training group workouts for the duration of the training trip.

3 workouts down / 9 to go

Flights

As you might expect we have a delay with an arriving flight ... naturally, it's our last scheduled arriving flight so there will be a little extra time spent in the airport.

Now we will hope the luggage makes it!!
