WEEKLY UPDATE for April 30, 2012

Schedule change: NO AFTERNOON WORKOUT ON FRIDAY, MAY 4 for PLATINUM, GOLD OR SILVER. Plat/Gold will have workout on Friday Morning, May 4, from 5:30-7:10 a.m.; no problem if anybody has to get out early to get to school. Regular Sunday workout for Plat/Gold (4-6 p.m.). The Silver Group will have workout on Sunday, May 6 from 4:30-6 p.m. (swim) and then drylands from 6-6:45 p.m. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, but I have to be out of town this weekend.

SILVER DRYLANDS- have been awesome! I've enjoyed everybody's good effort as we add this component to our training. Do your best to be consistent, focus on doing the exercises correctly, and then work to improve from week to week. REMEMBER: stronger OUT of the water, means stronger IN the water.

Meet update: the entries for the Abby Seeger Invitational (May 11-13, hosted by Retriever up at UMBC) have been accepted. I've emailed the entry fees to everybody, posted the entries on the bulletin board and handed out a hard copy to everybody who is entered in the meet. Parents, please be sure to speak with Rachel at the Front Desk and let her know how you want to pay for those fees. Anybody who races both days of that meet will be off on Monday, May 14- no exceptions.  NEXT MEET: the SNOW Invitational, June 1-3 in Sterling, VA. I'm getting excited for this meet! The meet info is on the board, I'll email the "meet announcement" to everybody next week.

LOOKING AHEAD: Long course training for the Plat/Gold groups on May 19-20; NO AFTERNOON WORKOUT that Sunday, May 20 for Plat/Gold or Silver. Also, regular Sunday workout schedule for Sunday, May 27; on Monday, May 28 (Memorial Day), the Plat/Gold groups will swim from 8-10 a.m. and the Silver Group will swim from 10-11:30 a.m.

FINAL EXAMS: hard to believe it's already May! The end of the school year is fast approaching; all SMAC student-athletes should be setting aside some time each night to start reviewing their notes in preparation for their final exams. If anything is particularly difficult, go see the teacher and get some extra tips on how best to prepare for the end of the year project or final exam. Spend 10 or 15 minutes reviewing each night in May to avoid cramming in June!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
Give the world your very best, and the world usually returns the favor.
