- Hard to believe that our first dual meet of the 2010 campaign is upon us. We are looking forward to racing Kenyon tonight along with our men’s team. We will be racing the 16-event format which will give each team member an opportunity to race up to four times. Most of our line-up will be focused on swimming secondary events or weak-stroke for the IMer’s. All of our end-of-the-season relay spots are up for grabs so tonight will be an opportunity to see who wants to set the bar for spots on Buckeye relays.
- We are finishing our eighth week of training this fall with the focus being fitness and strength-driven on land along with an aerobic emphasis in the pool. This is the first week that I have seen some residual fatigue in our water training. Which begs the question: is it a function of our work on land, work in the water or a combination to the two? Also, is the fatigue cumulative or acute? As you can see, I have more questions than answers. I do believe as a coach it is a lot easier to get them tired than it is to get them fast.
- This group has been a real pleasure to coach. They are engaged and spirited in their approach to the sport. Also, they have a sincere desire to improve.
Go Bucks!
Bill
