Big Win Today!
We started today at 8am going for about 55 minutes as a bit of a wake up ... Then we got on the road shortly after 9:45am.
We had a quick sheetz pit stop outside of Harrisburg (which also served as the wake up call ... With an hour to go in the drive it is the perfect time to wake up, and stay awake)
Lady Gaga (aka kasey blesh) got us even more awake as we pulled into Millersville.
Team had a great warm up getting used to different walls and weird blocks.
I was quite pleased with our over all racing today ... Everyone had 3 events and they all were swum in just over 60 minutes (including 2 - 10 min breaks).
A decent quickly served dinner at 2 cousins restaurant, an we got on our way.
We have 1 workout tomorrow and 2 thursday before our next meet Friday and again on Saturday.

Tomorrow is Disney day ...
I will try to get some pictures and blog posts up throughout the day!

greetings from sunny WARM california!
We made it...all in one piece, all luggage too. Frontier Airlines gave us a pretty decent ride out west ... the $6 direct TV in the back of the headrests is a nice feature. I'd give them a D minus when it comes to customer service (although Shannon Milstead would probably grade a little higher based on her getting free TV for holding the oxygen mask for the flight attendant on our first flight)
Hotel is respectable ... it's no Ron Jon Resort, but should give us a good week. Only snafu ... I was under the impression there was laundry facilities in the rooms, but looks like there are laundry facilities on the premises. Going to give the breakfast a shot this morning and hope it doesn't dissappoint. We are going on a supply run at 9:30 and have our first workout this afternoon at 2pm.
(quick side note, fun hearing horror stories from our counter parts training in 30 and 40 degree weather in Florida!! We lucked out!!)
