Getting Back In-Shape

This past week of training was wonderful! I got back in the water and the weight-room on Monday afternoon. Eddie and I wasted no time getting back into the swing of things. I didn’t fully taper and I didn’t shave for the meet so it was important to get back in the water and take my body to its top level of fitness as soon as possible. I felt really good in training all week. I went down in training for two weeks leading up to the Austin meet because I needed to let my body recover some and swim fast. When I started training again I could tell my body and mind had a reprieve and was once again ready to work. Tuesday and Wednesday were literally some of the best days of training I have had in a very long time. I am so encouraged and excited to get super fit and fine tune my skills even more going into this summer.

My sister is currently visiting me in Austin and we have had a great time catching up. We don’t generally get to spend much time together so it’s great to have an opportunity to reminisce about when we were younger. Today we tried to go to Wimberley, Texas which is supposed to be about an hour from my house. We never actually made it to Wimberley. We did drive through some very beautiful Texas countryside but never actually found the little town… Oh well I guess that’s something to try next time.

I’ll be traveling to San Diego on Monday to train at the Olympic Training Center for two weeks. I’m really looking forward to training with some different athletes and coaches. I truly believe Texas is the best place in the world to train but it is always nice to get a change of pace. I will definitely be updating ya’ll on my training and fun out on the West coast.
