This and that

Well, still no news on our training schedule for this season. So far the only event confirmed is our National Team Trials at the end of May, the official date has yet to be announced.

School is quickly picking up with midterm exams just around the corner! It is nice to have an easy going training schedule at this point in the year because it allows me to focus more on my studies.

January is coming to an end. This month our goal was to get ourselves back into shape both on land and in the pool. We have worked hard on our flexability, core strength, endurance, and basic skills this month. We have also started to introduce ourselves to tech team and elements again as this event was not incuded in our previous World Trophy competition, and therefore we have not trained them in a while!

Next up in February: my moms birthday, my sisters birthday and... my birthday!! On February 19th I will be turning 20 years old. Wow, I can't believe my teenaged years are almost over!!

Back to the pool!

Well, the holidays are over.. Its time to splash back in the pool and crack open those university textbooks!

This was our first week back after our 21 day break for the holidays. It feels great to be back at practice and to see all my teammates again, who are basically my second family! Yes, even though we spend every waking moment with one another, we still miss eachother during the holidays! :)

I had a wonderful time back home in Kitchener spending time with my friends and family. It allowed me to take a break from all the hard work at the pool to just relax and enjoy myself. My favourtie part of the holidays was all the creative baking and cooking I did! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as much as I did :)

Now that we have returned to the pool, our main focus is to re-build our strength and endurance to prepare for this years journeys. Our competition and training schedule for this year has not yet been established. Stay tuned!!

Take care.
