Team, you have just experienced Doak's Day

Friday was MY DAY to shine.  I don't get many, in fact, this might be my first one.  Nearly every set we did was a set I naturally excelled in.  Our dryland included a 30 minute yoga session, the first the team has done.  Now, I'm ok bragging that I excelled in this, especially because I typically get trampled in other sets.  I really do like yoga, and while others were tumbling and falling, I was steady and focused.  It was like I never lost what I gained in all my yoga.  The balance postures felt natural and easy.  It felt so good to get back to all those poses which I haven't done in months.  I still got fairly deep into the stretches.  Although I wasn't singled out by any coaches, I think it was clear I was one of the only people to have done yoga in the past.  Everybody was dripping with sweat at the end, including myself.  It was a good workout.

The pool workout not only included kicking, but it was 10x100m on the 1:40... I saw that set and smiled.  It was an "Animal Kick" :)

I allowed one other swimmer to go ahead of me out of respect, though after the first one I had nearly covered the 10 second difference in start times and was on his feet by 90 meters.  Through the set I got a thumbs up from one of the coaches.  I had to let out a "I love this set!" to the coach.  I had a smile on my face through most of the workout.  Everything we did was right up my alley including the 20x25y underwater on the :30.  I hope that once I build some more muscle I can look at more sets and workout days like this.  It felt good to do well after SO many days of being in the middle or back of the pack.
