John Bruce Invitational Update

 

WOW!

Normally we hope to see times that are around your December swims from the previous year.  But no…this year we saw 95% of swims faster than December of 2011 for the Senior group.

What does this mean for you?

  • Don’t hurt your shoulder, but please pat yourself (and each other) on the back
  • Be proud of yourselves for some amazing swims
  • Be excited about the rest of the season
  • Re-visit your initial goals for the season – they’re probably not fast enough based on what we saw you do this weekend (more on that later)
  • Recognize what you’ve put into training so far this season and how much that has already paid off

What does this mean for your coaches?

  • Loss of sleep from being excited for the rest of the season and working on things to keep up the improvement
  • Sore shoulders from patting ourselves on the back
  • Re-visiting our own goals for the season for each of you
  • Loss of sleep (again) – staying up late to think of new and better ways to torture…err…I mean inspire you at practice

Seriously, that was just crazy and the coaches are SO PROUD of what we saw from you.

Thank you for inspiring US!
