Morning Practices

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 3:16am (June 17th, 2008)

It was a busy day with work and practice. The available morning practice schedule at EMU changed to 6:00am-7:30am which makes my mornings a little earlier. I'm trying to condition myself to get used to swimming fast in the morning, which is exactly what I'll be required to do in the prelims at the Trials. My afternoon practice was at Fuller Pool. It was a beautiful day, and I really wanted to be outside, so I packed in another 3,000 meters out in the sun.

This weekend during the U.S. Open golf tournament on TV, I caught a commercial for the 2008 Swimming and Track Olympic Trials. It felt incredible to know that a swimming event I'll be a part of is actually getting national press and attention!

I've gotten a lot of nice messages lately wishing me luck, I appreciate all the support, I love what I do and I'm so thankful to have friends and relatives following my progress. It's getting exciting, I feel great in the water!
