4 Days Complete.


Way to go Hannah! Racing a total of 3,500 yards, nearly 2 miles of all out fast in 4 days. Glad to end the meet with another LTB (life time best) in the finals tonight. What a long, tiring 4 day bender, hanging out in the swimming pool. All worth it. The experience, priceless.

So we put the short course season behind us and take a break from it all until April. My taxi job just got easier, yay me.

We are off to Greece this week for our fine dining. Appropriate to end an athletic week by heading to a country where ancient greek athletics was very important. The ultimate greek goal was to be the best. All aspects of life, especially athletics, were the focal point of this concept. The athletes competed for honor, not material goods, hence the olive wreath that was given at Olympia, winning a victory.

Hannah may not have "won" the competition, but she did win against herself. That's the difference in swimming. You are a team, but ultimately are competing against yourself, to improve your best... your own victory.

Looking forward to a healthy week in Greece.
Happy Is.
