Great 2nd Day Back in the Water

Posted by Kevin Doak on Friday at: 2:49am (September 4th, 2009)
I had a chance to join Ann Arbor Masters for their last day at Fuller pool. Coach Bethany was in charge today and we did a moderate/hard 3500 meters. It was a great day for making some swimming connections. I met a few swimmers I hadn't seen before, among them was a great athlete named Amanda, I had a pleasant conversation with her regarding Masters Nationals and Indy's Swim Fit program, only to find out later she was the wife of local swimming legend Todd Mercer! I know Todd from my high school days at Brighton, he still holds some records in fact. Todd occasionally dropped in and would absolutely RUIN us all in practice. I remember it being a great experience to see what exactly was possible speed wise. After today's practice I had a brief conversation with Coach Bethany. Bethany is a dietitian in the area and I'm hoping to speak with her soon regarding some diet changes and recommendations.

All the masters swimmers enjoyed a nice sunset as we finished up practice. I'll miss Fuller Pool, I practiced there quite a bit this summer.... not a single trip down the water slide though... and therefore, life just isn't complete...
