I finished out the week coaching at Junior Olympic (swim meet). This is the first of the "qualifying" meets for kids. There are trials and finals each day, and Pacific Swimming as some of the fastest age groupers in the country. My kids did great! I had three girls make their FIRST qualifying time for Far Westerns (the next standard above Junior Olympics), and were thrilled. My 11 yr old boy dropped 7 seconds in his 200 back and got a PRT (Pacific Recordable Time...basically, really fast)!! My kids swam great and for the most part were very mentally solid, I had no major psychological interventions (thats HUGE in my book)!!
With the meet, I was able to get in a 2 hr trainer ride on Saturday, and Sunday ended up being family time after the meet and so I saved my long run for Monday.

About Me
- LDub
- I am happily married to my high school sweetheart. We have a lab-great dane dog, who loves to cuddle. I was a college swimmer and once I "retired" from my career of swimming in 2006 I haven't traveled too far from the sport. I coach a year round kids club team. I swim for masters - with my mom and brother! But I have enjoyed the freedom to pick up other sports - like cycling and running (and of course a few others). I believe that God has given me a strong body and passion to handle, endure, and enjoy endurance events and I will try to glorify him with this gift. Each year I like to have some sort of "athletic endeavor/goal" - 2010 it is an IRONMAN! Thats been a big thing on my bucketlist to do before having kids and so I deemed it worthy of receiving its own blog! Here ya go...a good, boring, specific training blog. :)
