Looking forward to training in Ft. Myers
On December 26, thirty-one of our team will rendezvous in Ft. Myers, Florida, for an intense 7-day training trip. We'll be training at the Florida Gulf Coast University's 50m and 25 yard pools. Add in some dry-land training, our usual ab workout, and some serious video analysis every day, and it's going to be a great experience. Of course, there is the spectacular brunch buffet at the Embassy Suites hotel (our "in" at the Suites, thanks to alum Joe Coursolle, a General Manager in the Hilton Hotel chain), and the incredible white sand of the gulf coast beaches.
We come back just in time for the start of January term, and that very next Saturday, the women head up to Concordia for a dual meet with the Lady Cobbers. I'm guessing we're going to be very fast.
Christmas training is a time when seasons can be turned around. I know that all our swimmers and divers, whether they're making the training trip or not, are going to be working hard, preparing for a great January. It's clear to me that this team senses just how good it can be, and will be doing whatever it takes to reach that potential.
