Freaky Fast Friday


Thursday night sunset was spectacular. All of us saw the green flash!

We enjoyed the view from La Playa. 



Practice with coach Mike was a nice recovery from Wednesday's monster IM set. There was a small crowd, and I was the last one in the pool, because I wanted to finish the entire set.

Practice with coach Kevin. I really enjoy Kevin's practice sets. I almost thought about taking a rest day, however I am glad I did not, since we used parachutes today!  This was my first experience with parachutes. He had his age group team do this same practice but swimming breaststroke.
