Today’s
ThrowBack Thursday comes to us from the 2010-2011 season on the road to the
NCAA DII National Meet in San Antonio Texas.
LHU's Swimming program has
a long history with the Longhorns Swim Camp in the summertime, so before the meet got going the
women took a quick day trip on I-35 to see the state capitol, campus, and the
Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swim Center (a great destination for any swimmer). At any given time in the Texas Swim
Center, there are several Olympians working out, and on this day they happened to run into Pennsylvania
native Brendan Hansen.
Below is Jenna
Brooks, Amanda Terray, Sam Durham, and Britt Rehrig with the 6 time Olympic
medalist!

We had a great
morning warm up swim, wasn't too crowded as a lot of the teams fly in on Monday
instead of Sunday. We stopped about 30 minutes into the 70 minuteish
drive at olive garden where we all partook in some mass soup, salad &
breadsticks. Back on the road we had a scenic drive and made it into
Austin going right to the pool. While walking in we saw Brendan Hansen
and Dave Walters. We watched the the finishing parts of the womens
workout and only the start of the mens. The women met a lot of coaches
and a few swimmers. I was a little worried that they were getting bored,
but they assured me that was not the case.
(for those who don't know I have had the privilege of working the UT swim camp 7 summers and really enjoy the UT team, campus and the City in general).
Afterwards we did a quick "tour da austin" with stops at Mellow Johnnys (Lance Armstrong's rather expensive bike shop), the Coop & Tylers, the women bought a few souvenirs ... I have a new pair of Sanuk flip flops (and Kim has a pair waiting for her too!) ... we dined at central market with UT swim camp director Jon Alter (Central Market is a made to order type of wegmans)
A supply run at Wal Mart on the way back and we are all set to go. 8:15 wake up call / 8:45am depature for a warm up swim tomorrow. The team will have some down time in the afternoon at the Riverwalk (but I will be calling it the RiverSitDown....so they don't get their legs too tired) while I have a coaches meeting.
Should mention that our sweet van also still has the free Sirius Sat Radio so we have been rockin' out (when i say we I definitely mean the 4 girls and not me) to Sirius hits 1 and a little bit of the pulse (Channel 12) after hearing the same 20 songs for 2 days... i have yet to subject them to any talk radio.
