The most fascinating month of my swimming career

I've never experienced so many new things in such a short period of time.  Every day for the last month, I feel like I'm about to burst with all the stories and training techniques my mind is filled with each day.  In every single practice, I feel as though my swimming is being revolutionized.  I feel nothing but lucky that I have this chance.  I've done everything I need to do to earn the coaches acceptance and establish my place on this team, at least for the summer.  Nobody I know of has done what I have done... Swim in college, take some time off, and come back with more dedication and drive than ever before.  I've made countless choices in life that have lead me to this opportunity and I couldn't be happier.

The team is traveling to a meet at Oakland University this weekend.  I joined the team too late to have participated in the meet unfortunately.  I really would have loved a chance to benchmark my progress thus far.  As far as I know, my registration for the Canada Cup is on track with all my preferred events.  I'm excited to swim everything except the 100 Free.  It's never been a particularly good race for me.  The 50 back and 50 fly have me pumped up!  It's so rare that a non Masters meet offers these races.
