Practicing with a High School Team

Over the holiday, my best option is to train with a local High School. I swam around 3,500 yards with them yesterday. It was a solid workout for me with a few challenging intervals on an IM set. Overall it was a good workout. Later in the day I did weights at home and some ab exercises. I feel empowered lately. My renewed interest in serious training along with my personal victory in training on Tuesday by dropping 4 seconds on my animal kick set has left me with a very positive outlook for my future swimming career! A quick email to EMU head coach Peter Linn yesterday informed me that the best "Animal Kick" average he's ever witnessed was a 1:05.... Which is just INSANE! To think I would have to drop over 8 seconds to match that is daunting to say the least. My next goal is to average a sub 1:10 which would be a 3.2+ second drop. I'm going to make it happen, and soon.
