| We just finished our morning run (coaches); we love the early morning bustle of the town! It's going to be a beautiful day! |
 |
| The group is ready to roll :) |
 |
| Pre-workout routines differ for everyone, it's fun to watch!!! |
 |
| The sun is SO bright in the AM! |
 |
| Hi Daniel! They just devoured 6000m this AM... they are WIPED! |
 |
| ogradyGOPROtime took a video instead of photos! Best snapshot of the day! |
 |
| Having some fun in the pool. We'll take more underwater pictures tomorrow! |
 |
| Before our second swim, we did an egg drop challenge with the groups! Pack them however you want, the egg can't break! |
 |
| They were dropping them from one floor up! |
 |
| Some survived, like this one that was put into a jar of peanut butter wrapped in a blanket in a bag... |
 |
| ... or tucked into a Pringles can... |
 |
| ... while others, not so much. (Little crack in the top, bigger crack underneathe.) |
 |
| This one was sent down in only the peanut butter container... wasn't as successful :( |
 |
| Our last evening swim; it was a tough practice for one group and a fun/recovery for the other! |
 |
| The lanes on your left are warming down from their tough main set; the lanes on your right are doing a train! |
 |
| Our final team meeting! The kids reviewed their favourite sets, and complimented one another on their training. We had a great time with our teammates and with HAC (as usual)!!!! It's been an amazing experience overall :) We're so happy all the kids got to experience the camp as we dive into LC season, and had a taste of Espana too :) Lots of great memories! [ Sorry about the blurry picture (sigh); this probably how most of the kids see the world after swimming 10K today :) ] |
 |
| OK, do you see the truck with flashing lights? EVERY NIGHT at 11:20PM, this truck comes around and picks up the garbage. They pick up the recycling first around 10:00PM. But, seriously, WHY?!?! |
