Brace for impact!

Today was challenging.  The morning workout was 2.5 hours of aerobic swimming and sprint kicking.  This afternoon was a 1 hour lifting session, followed by a burst speed set of only 1800 yards.  It was mostly bucket work.  "Buckets" refer to a large aluminum structure which has an intricate pully system and a 20 gallon drums filled up with water.  You strap a belt on your waist and because of the pully system, you are able to pull the cord a full 25 yards/meters with significant resistance.  It was a tough practice, but at the same time, not really that difficult.  This can mean only one of two things:

  1. The Coaching staff just feels like: Hey, lets lay off these guys for ONCE in their lives, no need for EVERY day to be difficult.
  2. The Coaching staff is giving us one moderately easy day, and they will DEMOLISH us tomorrow.

I'm going with the FAR more probable scenario, which is option #2.  Team: Brace for impact.
