Reminders:
1.) Please try your hardest to attend practice each day as we continue with taper. We want to conserve energy as we drop the yardage and intensity of our final practices to set us up for the best possible time drops at our respective championship meets. This is a scheduled controlled drop with each day having a critical impact.
2.) Please be sure to practice the strategies for a good taper we have been talking about at practice. We want to be fully rested and ready to perform our fastest.
- Good night's sleep
- Good diet (especially pasta and vegetables Thursday/Friday)
- Avoid excessive hours staring at device screens
- Avoid activities that will take a lot of energy or that risk injury (lifting, hot tubs, skiing, etc.)
3.) We will be updating relays at practice this week based on the addition of Saturday's sectional times. In some cases, we will be holding swim-offs with our sprints at practice to settle a few remaining spots. Our relay performances have been incredible so far! I wish we could run multiple because I know we have so many swimmers ready to contribute great performances! We make any adjustments with the goal to position the relays to drop even more time and continue to advance. Keep working hard as a group to make our relays the fastest they can be; it takes the collective effort of every team member to push them forward!
